Hello my friend riyasam Ji, No one's life is predictable. Life is full of uncertainties. But we should relish it's uncertainties and enjoy life. Here is something from web : http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2003/09/04/relish-uncertainty-its-what-makes-life-intersting/ [b]"Relish uncertainty - It's what makes life interesting If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The thrill of living is that you don’t know what’s coming. In other words, uncertainty is what makes our lives fun. Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such a positive light when you are out of work, or when you feel like you’re flailing. But uncertainty is really another word for opportunity, and you can’t harness an opportunity until you recognize it’s there."[/b] May God bless you and have a great time.

My life has never been predictable.When I sit back and think of it I am amazed.Though we know we are supposed to take one day at a time, live in the present and all that.Still we do need to plan our future.We have been making so many plans then I find suddenly from nowhere something else crops up and all the planning goes haywire.Then I just tell myself however much we plan God has different plans for us.There is someone up there guiding us.We have to take a detour and follow his directions.There have been too many twists and turns in my life.But whatever changes have come I think that must be for my own good.I firmly believe in God so I know I will not be forsaken.With immense faith in him I am just continuing my journey of life.I would like to share one incident with you.My husband is almost nearing his retirement we have just few more years.We had bought a flat long back and we knew we would settle there after our retirement.Just last week suddenly we have put it up for sale and we are looking out for land where we now work so that we can build a house here.I was totally taken aback by this sudden decision ofcourse it involved both of us and my son.Still I thought if HE has brought us to this HE will see us through.I guess that's life.I enjoyed responding to this topic.

calm before the storm is not for me my life is always stressful no matter which way I turn so I just try to deal with it one day at a time. I really have no other choice in the matter anyway.

If there is a person here who can truly say that their life is predictable, I think often in a lot of ways they are often fooling themselves for sure. Because especially now with everything going on around the world it does make one think more for sure. You never know when something is going to be dealt your way that is going to change your outlook on life as well.

At this point, life around here is pretty predictable. My husband's life used to be a madhouse, but i got things in order for him, and helped him make a list of priorities, and get rid of those things that were draining the life right out of him. Stuff still craws out of the woodwork on occasion, but now we're ready for it.

Well usually it's predicable but lately a few things have been popping up that are unexpected. And not all good things either! Like today we had a couple of things happen. One was, my left brake light went out. And it wasn't just that the lightbulb burned out, it was something else so now we have to figure out why it did and hope it won't be expensive.

yes mine life is predictable,whenever i used see my daily schedule i can easily understand that what is the next step that i am going to take, is this can be in my profit or not. sometimes i used to think that i am doing same kind of things daily, is this my life. everyone has a power of preiction it's only depends upon your thinking, routine, and attitude.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger. (Henry Ford). What ever you choose to be in life, it is you who shape the life you want to live. What happens to your life is important, but it is not the end. You have the ability to write a happy ending.

Well so far life has been good. A lot of surprises but the good thing is these surprises are really surprises that makes me smile and say that it is such a good life. I do hope that you will find surprises that will make you smile and make you happy. But of course we have to accept the fact that life is not all happiness. It is just a matter of accepting it. Well, I remember this saying from the movie "count of Monte Cristo" and it goes like this... " Life is a storm my friend, you bath in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes." So there you are my friend, just be strong and face that storm. I am sure that you will always succeed for as long as you do not hide from the storm. Keep your head up high!

my life use to be alot more hectic but thank heavens it is not as bad as it use to be. i think alot of the reason that is i had to learn to put things that i let bother me to the side. there is nothing u can do about alot of things u worry about. i still have problems i don't mean that i don't but when u know it's useless to worry about things u can't change u just have to accept it whether u like it or not.

once you get satisfied w/your life things will get better. there is nothing like peace of mind. being happy is up to u & when u understand that other people can't make u happy , u will be alot better off. good luck.

i thing i know for sure and that is... "THE ONLY PREDICTABLE THING IN THE FUTURE, IS UNCERTAINTY". no matter how organize a person is towards his life there will be times that everything will not come the way or according to what we planned it. it's a shameful sight. mine is always predictable, i plan ahead of time yet i still looked at the other side and always have another tricks on my sleeve.

Life if remains unpredictable then is interesting. Generally if it goes on and on without surprises then it becomes very boring. That is why people who are in regular job like the weekends as they are able to do something different from the rest days.

My life has been so far smooth specially immediate family and for that I thank the Lord God. But there are some rough roads to tackle once in a while like a sickly old mother and a sister stricken with cancer. All these however are parts of God's trials to mold me into a better person. And even in the midst of trials, I thank God that He has given me the grace to be patient and trusting on Him. I know that after the storms the sun will shine. Life is not always bed of roses, there are also thorns to go through, but thank God, I know He will carry me through.
