Do you get the outcome you desire?

Machiavelli said something like “Wars begin where you will... but they do not end where you please” I wonder how many times we start something assuming the outcome will be.. and have it in reality so very different! Like we start a discussion with our child/mate and out of nowhere? comes an explosion! You head to the store to quickly pick up milk and end up in the hospital because someone ran a red! I have come to realize this and have learned to bite my lower lip to avoid an arguement that neither of us will win... But if carried out will scar us forever! To sit a second longer looking both ways! To mend the fence before the horse is out instead of after I chase them! How much of the bad results are on us? How many times do they happen because we breeze through life unawares? I don't really have an answer... I need to form one in my head.. so I need your input. oxoxoxoxoxxoxo
