Life brings unexpected tragedies that are beyond our control. It's heartbreaking to witness people facing circumstances they never chose. We react with tears and inevitably wonder, "What if that happens to me?"
As humans, we naturally focus on the positive and avoid dwelling on such thoughts—and that's healthy. But this perspective has shaped how I approach life: Am I prepared for these scenarios? Are my loved ones protected if something goes wrong?
If I were to die, I couldn't be there to tell them to stay strong—they'd have to face that grief alone. But I can give them financial security through proper planning, wills, and trusts. These are tangible ways to care for them even when I'm gone.
Beyond that, what else can I control? I don't waste energy worrying about an uncertain past or future. Instead, I choose to spread peace, truly listen to others, and share genuine smiles. I embrace the principle of living fully while letting others do the same.
In a world of uncertainty, these become my anchors: preparation for my loved ones, presence in each moment, and compassion for fellow travelers on this unpredictable journey.
