"Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans”

John Lennon - Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

​

In the pursuit of our dreams and ambitions, it is common to meticulously plan our lives, setting goals and milestones to achieve. We often find ourselves engrossed in the art of planning, aiming to control every aspect of our existence. However, amidst our carefully constructed plans, life has a way of unfolding unexpectedly, introducing a multitude of experiences that shape our journey. As the renowned musician John Lennon once wisely said, "Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans." This statement unwraps the essence of life's unpredictable nature, emphasizing the importance of embracing spontaneity, adaptability, and the beauty found within unplanned moments. 
 
It's Human nature to work towards things like satiate our feelings. Often times we make the mistake of not expecting the unexpected. These are times we fall apart. The universe has its own plan and reality hates to be insulted. Life goes on, time passes by and these are instances that build us stronger. We don’t expect people to abandon us, we don’t expect to fail a test, we don’t expect to meet with an accident but if all that’s expected unfolds, we don’t learn and we never discover hidden strengths of our souls. 

The perspective of being changes when exposed to the bittersweet beauty of life. 
One should believe that what’s the reality today might be past tomorrow, what they have today might be lost the day after.
So , If you put your best foot forward and expect exciting results but don’t end up getting them, don’t fall part . Hold on. It is just another lesson ‘life’ is trying to teach. It’s trying to help you unravel an unexposed potential. 

In order to live well we must embrace the notion life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans" as it invited us to relinquish control, embrace serendipity, and appreciate the lessons learned in adversity.
