Flexible future

Your expectation of the future — your predictions and assumptions — will be inaccurate.

Five years. Ten. Twenty. The further you go, the further the drift.

Alive and passed, married and divorced, where people work, where people live, what people do … it’s all subject to change.

So when we find ourselves in a moment where our expectations don’t align with reality — for better or worse — we have to remind ourselves that we we’ve never been good at predicting the future.

But we are good at being flexible. At adapting. At finding a way — and finding joy and contentment — even when our predictions were way off.

Sometimes, thankfully, they’re way off for the better.
