Every day, I wake knowing I will face challenges throughout the day. These challenges can be a difficult uphill battle but eventually I will cross the finish line. I have learned throughout my challenges that sometimes, the best preparation is actually not having any preparation at all. I feel that preparation is a double edge sword that can either help you or harm you. Personally, I find it harmful because there are times where a person over prepares themselves that they become stressed out and tunneled in to a certain path. Being unprepared is not necessary a bad thing, because you should always be ready to adapt to the situation. Just like life, you cannot prepare for certain things in the future ahead of you because there are many unexpected obstacles to overcome and not everything will go in your way. Death is a great example of unexpected events, because death is the only thing I am scared of. Death is nothing something I can plan and be prepared for but I try to make the best of my life before it happens. Yes I fear death, but who doesnât? That is why I set my foot out into the world to find true happiness every day. I always tell myself to be who I am and not live a life that was planned because it will be boring. I like to like a live of uncertainties because it give me thrills.
