Beyond The Plan.

I love this topic, and think about it now, I can say that life has taught me a whole lot of things. A whole lot. But one of the things life taught me that school didn't is that life will not always go the you planned or thought it would.

Back then in school, it was just about studying, graduating and getting a good job, as if things will just fall into place just like that. And I can tell you that I believed it, I actually planned it that way too.

But the thing is life will always hold its own script same way you're holding yours. I remember a time when I was in an environment I never planned I will be in, I spent years in that environment, it was never in my plan, I never see it coming and I didn't even thought about it, kife just brought it my way and I have to deal with it. It was a struggling moment for me, I couldn't stop comparing where I was to where I thought I should be. I kept thinking of what I would have achieved and where I would have been if life hadn't held me down in that situation. And it was frustrating, heartbreaking, discouraging, and saddening.

But along the line, I stopped focusing on the situation and where I'm in, I began to ask myself and think of the things I could do even in that situation. And that was how I began to adjust, I do the little I could, learnt few things,. picked up some skills, found hive along the line and I began to move. Not as if it was still that smooth, not at all, I made mistakes, I improved and all of that, it wasn't my plan but life came at me and I have to make some adjustments and changes in my plans to, since I have to keep progressing.

And that's it, school never taught me and I don't think it ever teaches anyone how to adjust and replan yourself when life comes at you or when things didn't go the way you had planned. Delays will come, there will be a need to take the long way, detours will show up and various turns and crossroads will show up along the way, and how to navigate it all and keep going is something that was never taught in the four walls of a school.

And I will love to tell you dear readers, it won't always go the way you planned it, there are bends on that road, their are bumps along the way, there are potholes as well and you have to bend with it, bump with it and keep going.
