It's never set in stone

I think as humans we pride ourselves on routine. It's how we budget our time. Life usually depends on it. How often does something go awry or not according to plan? I think we deal with this every day and do not even realize. Something as little as oversleeping can change the course of your entire day. All of a sudden becoming sick can do the same thing. As hard as we try to maintain some sort of constant in our lives, this constant we seek is always being pushed aside. Is it because, in reality, we subconsciously crave spontaneity and something out of the ordinary? Do we stress out and get scared because we are not used to it, even though we crave it? Change in any aspect of life is definitely a trigger for the stress and anxiety that some people have. No one likes change, but somehow we end up bored with the same old routine. Most times, we depend on routines just to live a normal day-to-day existence... say you lose employment. This change could be detrimental to the routine that you may have. This can include bills, rent, mortgage, car payments, etc. That routine most likely depended on the hours and wages earned at work. What do you do when that suddenly changes? It's nearly impossible to go through this without some sort of uncertainty. Nothing is set in stone, and sometimes, I think we need to take the changes that are thrown towards us in stride. Today could be the hardest day of your life, but if you get through it, chances are you may be handsomely rewarded. You never know.
