It is absolutely normal for us to think, worry and feel obligated to plan about our lives generally. It’s very normal for us to protect ourselves; our emotions, thoughts, fears, and even dreams. It’s okay to have a point of view, it’s okay to live according to your disposition, it’s okay to build your walls and live within your confines. It’s okay to be prepared.
But then, life is very unpredictable.one minute you’re very certain and the next minute your certainties are null. One day you make it, the next day you’re drowning. This hour you cry, the next hour something gives you cause to laugh. Most people say, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. What if life gives you rotten eggs? Or aloe juice? What then? Why over plan and over prepare for a journey, when you don’t know where it’s leading or what it’ll bring next? This is where key emotions and feelings come in. We hope for the best, and have faith in ourselves to be able to pull through whatever life brings.

Reading the biography of so many great men and women, they followed their instincts. Some of them didn’t even graduate college, some had to write a particular exam more than three four times and others were blatantly told their faces that they would never make it. The funny thing is, some of them came from very poor backgrounds, some had no hope for a bright future, and some had to go to public schools, when others couldn’t even go. Some of them planned, others didn’t, but one thing they all appeared to do was to BE MOTIVATED and TO FOLLOW THEIR OWN NATURAL INSTINCTS; meaning they didn’t have to work it too much, didn’t have to follow another man’s footsteps and let things happen.
Great businesses and firms and initiatives and companies today once had no hope for being great. These people had to go through thick and thin, under the sun and under the rain, TAKING RISKS. How many of us are willing to take risks today? We feel much too secure under a normal plan.
Most great relationships, one thing I’ve come to notice is, they never really planned to meet their other half at that point and time that they did, they never really had to worry about how it went, but things eventually worked out. Friendships and marriages are built on long time periods and are based on natural reflective emotions; meaning you don’t have to put in too much to show your feelings and your partner understands leading to lesser conflicts. Why then do we rush things? I know of a man who married a lady he met in church, he knew her for not more than three months and jumped into a marriage he’s regretting today. He felt “well, she’s a church woman, she’d be disciplined and all” but guess what? He’s thinking of a divorce after two years of marriage and a kid. He had forgotten he was going to spend all his life with another being that wasn’t as perfect and had forgotten to build a connection and foundation that would construct the building of their marriage.

Truth is, we would eventually run out of time. Time is never on our side and cannot work for us. We instead work for time. Today some people wish they could re-live yesterday, but in truth, we aren’t even living for today. We spend our todays constantly worrying about our tomorrows. Sometimes there are not enough hours in the day for us. This journey cannot be straight and certain. You don’t know what would happen today, you don’t even know if there would be a tomorrow. It’s okay to plan, it’s okay to stress, but it’s also okay to let things happen and take your time. Do not over plan, do not over worry, do not build your walls too high so that you escape chances to experience true love, do not try to be perfect, and do not be a pirated version of another man. * It is very important to BE YOURSELF and FOLLOW YOUR OWN NATURAL INSTINCTS because someone out there needs someone exactly like the real you, with your own kind of thinking.

I for one am very sure that if we could read the minds of dead people, we'd see that they wished they had laughed a little more, loved a little more, shared a little more, eaten a little more, and lived a little more.
For us Christians, even Jesus Christ himself asked us not to worry too much even about our today, talk more our tomorrow. Live for the moment and let things happen. Diamond is not diamond if it doesn’t go through the fiery process under the hammer of a goldsmith. Diamonds are really expensive. For you to be great, you necessarily have to go through stages of uncertainties and heart aches and even pain, may be emotional, may be physical. It is all part of the success process to go through all that. Once in a while be grateful you’ve come this far, and be happy you’re still here because it’s a sign that you still have purpose and very fit.
let things happen
