Life comes hard and fast, often blazing a trail full of both disaster and good fortune, with no specific formula.

We dream of ideas for moving forward in our life, but generally plan for perfect conditions for getting there. We naturally overcome small imperfections in our plans as we are focused on reaching our goal, but often times an overcome-able issue will seem like a major obstacle and could derail us.
It feels like this because we assumed our plan would go perfectly.
At this point, no matter the task, many people get emotional or angry. They feel like the world is against them. Frustration sets in. Maybe a few curse words come out.
But all of these feelings are so avoidable, just embrace the fact that life is going to keep coming at you a little sloppily, and randomness is going to be constantly knocking you off-course. Then when stuff happens, not only are you not surprised, but you are ready for it, because you knew it was coming.
Expect for little things to go wrong.
Prepare for the possibility of a worst case scenario.
Try to detach your emotions from short term dynamics.
Maximize what you can accomplish in that ever changing moment you are standing in!

You will know you have mastered these tactics when you can drive around town and not let other driver's decisions effect you emotionally and are able to stay focused on accomplishing your task.
Enjoy your evening!
I like blazing trails! haha
I liked the Oregon Trail in 1988.
What about that bastard Murphy and his law? :P
Murphy is a DBC extraordinaire, fits right in bro...
You have such inspiring words of wisdom, you really open my eyes to the expanse of knowledge thats out there.
I'm glad to see someone giving gank praise for the knowledge he shares with us.
@gank is very insightful,
It's easy to say something like that, but then it's not so easy to set. ;)
Focus on the things you have control of, while expecting the unexpected.
A famous philosopher once said that you can’t turn a hoe into a housewife. Has anyone had success achieving this?? I’ve been trying for years, and all I can report is that making housewives hoes is fun.
good information
