Expect the best, but prepare for the worst By Rev. Fr. Peter Iwuala

Life will inevitably involve failure, but it can also provide invaluable life lessons. Resilience and success both depend on having an optimistic outlook.

With this kind of thinking, people can see failures as opportunities for personal development, for enhancement of their ability to solve problems; and for preservation of their emotional stability.

In order to increase the chances of success and prepare for different circumstances, it is necessary to evaluate potential risks and challenges.

Having a well-organized backup plan might help you to be more flexible and resilient. It takes flexibility and self-awareness to deal with life’s uncertainties in a balanced way.

Problems should be viewed as chances for development and education, with an emphasis on controlling what is within one’s power rather than obsessing over what is outside of it. Exploring new avenues and making adjustments to plans are made possible by being flexible and open to change.

Maintaining equilibrium in unpredictable times can also be facilitated by self-care routines and asking for help from loved ones. Living a more contented and prosperous life might result from adopting an optimistic outlook and being ready for anything.
