Maybe someone likes to plan his life, but I say that we should plan less and live more. Man plans and god laughs. All of us have more than once planned a lot and experienced the complete collapse of those plans. But in the end, everything turns out even better than we planned. For example, you lost your job - you got a better one, or you started your own business.
There should be less planning and less fear in our lives. Of course, I don't advise you to live like that grasshopper in Aesop's fable, who dances all summer and didn't prepare for winter. But a system of small victories and steps will help us calm down, not get distracted and not tear up ourselves. We all know the true that we can't change anything in our past, and the future is still completely unknown to us.
The last pandemic, the wars which are going on now, showed us how fragile and unpredictable our lives are. We didn't know and still don't know what can happen tomorrow. So, we could do two things: be nervous about the unknown or just accept it. Myself, I accepted the reality, I accept that I know nothing and I trust the Universe. By the way, I think it is easier for religious people who know that someone is always guiding them.
And what if you're agnostic? Then there is no other way but to find faith in yourself. Trust that everything will work out. Probably not the way we imagined, but still good. We need to look at our misfortunes very philosophically. What a priori looks like a disaster, looking back or looking at the perspective of time, can be the best way out. It is also important not to stress, to accept the lessons of life.
Some people learn to appreciate every moment of life only when they get ill. You wake up, the sun is shining, you drink tea, and it seems like a miracle, because maybe you couldn't get out of bed yesterday. I think we all should consciously practice appreciating the little things every day and be grateful for them.
Sometimes our lives seem like a nightmare, decorated with delicious moments, and our goal is to capture those moments in our memories. To draw them out of each day, instead of dragging life like a yoke, constantly complaining about everything.
That's my approach. What do you think?
