Let’s talk about the real reason you’re here.
Not for the scripted moments, the safe choices, or the Instagram-perfect endings. You’re here for the plot twists—the ones that leave you breathless, wide-eyed, and alive.
Because here’s the raw truth: Life isn’t a checklist. It’s a suspense thriller.
Why Predictions Steal Your Joy
You’ve been there. That gnawing need to know—what’s next? Will the job work out? The relationship? The dream? You grip your crystal ball (Google, horoscopes, frantic planning) and demand answers.
But here’s the irony: The best stories are the ones you couldn’t predict.
Think about your favorite movie. If you guessed every scene, you’d yawn and walk out. But when the plot blindsides you—that’s when you scream, “Wow, what a ride!”
Your life works the same way.
The Dirty Lie of “Stay Positive”
When life blindsides you, well-meaning voices chirp: “Just be positive!” But forced positivity is like slapping a smile on a storm.
Confidence without clarity isn’t courage—it’s delusion.
- You wouldn’t drive blindfolded yelling “I’ve got this!”
- So why bulldoze life’s fog with empty pep talks?
Instead, do this: Embrace the fog. Sit with it. Let it humble you. Uncertainty isn’t your enemy—it’s your invitation to grow.
The Present Moment: Your Anchor in the Chaos
Here’s the secret no one tells you: Tomorrow doesn’t exist.
- “What if I fail?” — A ghost.
- “What if they leave?” — A mirage.
The only thing real? Right now.
Try this:
- Feel your feet on the ground. Notice the weight, the texture, the aliveness.
- Track your breath. Inhale: “Here.” Exhale: “Now.”
- Ask: *“Can I handle this *moment?” (Spoiler: You always can.)
The Three Levers of Destiny
You can’t control life’s script, but you can control how you show up.
- Your Body:
Move it. Nourish it. Rest it. Master this, and 15-20% of life bends to your will. - Your Mind:
Thoughts aren’t facts. Emotions aren’t fate. Harness them, and 50-60% of your destiny is yours. - Your Energy:
That spark inside? Fan it. Protect it. Let it blaze. Do this, and 100% of your life becomes yours.
The Liberating Truth
Uncertainty isn’t a flaw—it’s the point.
- Fear says: “What if it all goes wrong?”
- Life whispers: *“What if it’s *supposed* to?”*
You didn’t come here to avoid storms. You came to dance in the rain—to laugh when the plot twists, to gasp when the sky cracks, to feel everything.
Your Invitation
Today, try this:
- Cancel the “What-If” Show: Replace “What if?” with “Let’s see…”
- Befriend the Unknown: Write down one thing you can’t control. Burn it. Watch the smoke rise.
- Live Like a Protagonist: Do one reckless, joyful thing—just to remind yourself: You’re alive.
Life’s not a problem to solve. It’s a mystery to live.
*P.S. The next time someone asks, “What’s your plan?” smirk and say: “I’m too busy *living* to have one.”*
