Making Your Life Predictable Will Make It Miserable, Here’s Why
Predictability goes hand in hand with your comfort zone
People love making routines. It starts with waking up at 5, working out for an hour, eating healthy, reading the news, and so on.
You and I are no different. We want to create routines for two reasons. Firstly, routines help us get to our goals.
But more importantly, it gives us the illusion of predictability.
However, life is nothing if not uncertain. Your every day may not be different but days today will be different from what they used to be months ago.
Predictability is futile. It can also be limiting. You are unlikely to be adaptable if you have already set your mind on something else.
In the end, predictability and routines do one thing. It forces you to remove unpredictable elements from your life. You end up doing the same type of work, eating similar food, doing the same thing almost every day, and spending time with similar types of people.
Or in other words, you deprive yourself of new experiences, food, and knowing more people. You get used to a set way of life. But life changes without your permission.
