"The course of life is unpredictable... no one can write his autobiography in advance."
~Abraham Joshua Heschel ~
I try to prepare myself for the future by thinking through all possible scenarios and figuring out how I will handle each one if it should come to pass. But, in truth, this is a waste of productive thinking time because it's not possible to know or understand the emotional ramifications of any life circumstance until I'm in it. I can strategize action and possible outcome all I want, but I can't possible know how something is going to make me feel until I feel it.
I catch myself trying to figure out strategic moves for the future and stop. What's right in front of me is my only responsibility for today.
