We all have 24 hours in a day. Some people look like they have more time than others but at the end of the day we all have 24 hours. What we choose to do and not do in those 24 hours usually is entirely up to us. Yet on some days it seems and feels like the day just eludes us. Some days it feels like things that we didn’t plan for just come at us with force, leaving us without the slightest idea of how to move forward.
Over the years I realized how easy it was for me to get sidetracked by minor inconveniences that would happen on some days. This was heightened even more when I had a preconceived idea of how my day was going to go and it turned out to be different in a negative way.
Well this week has been that in a nutshell, but instead of minor inconveniences, some things that have happened this week have been major. The most major thing being that I lost all my data. All my unpublished blog posts, my school data, my prerecorded covers, everything. If I could be totally honest, I almost didn’t write this blog post because of the conditions in which I had to write it. But here I am, with another edition. Thank God.
I like to have a sense of control over the eventualities that happen in a day or week or month, you get the point. I just feel more at ease when I can control what happens and when it happens . It helps me plan and figure out my next course of action.
One thing that I’ve noticed in my own life is that I don’t often plan for the things that may go wrong. It’s not always that I take a second to consider the things that may not go my way. I don’t know where I’m at with figuring this out at the moment but I don’t think the problem is with my planning. To be honest I don’t even think there’s a problem at all. There might be a lesson but I don’t think all inconveniences are as a result of a problem.
One thing about inconveniences is that they all feel quite unique because often how we experience them is quite unique every single time they happen. Maybe this is because of the surrounding factors that either make these inconveniences easy or hard to bear. Maybe it also has something to do the possible implications that these inconveniences may have. I honestly don’t know at this point because I’m still learning too.
The thing that frustrates me most is how these inconveniences can affect the quality of my output. How after hours of working towards something, one small thing can happen that can change all that. Worse yet when it’s something I can’t quite control.
It’s easy to say that maybe I should plan better but it’s not realistic to be honest. Sometimes things just happen and it’s sucks but that doesn’t mean we should be over meticulous about avoiding every single inconvenience. That’s quite tiring and overall impossible.
Things don’t always work out the way we would want them to, but maybe that’s the only time when our ability to move forward is really tested. Maybe we can learn a thing or two from the things that we can’t control.
This is probably one of my shortest blog posts but I’ll leave it at this because I don’t have anything more to say. I guess this is my opportunity to listen and learn.
