“Understand: in life as in war, nothing ever happens just as you expect it to.”Robert Greene
In our modern lives, unexpected challenges are a constant. Just like in war, we must adapt and remain flexible when facing unexpected obstacles. For example, you may have a detailed plan for a work project, but a sudden change in requirements requires you to adjust your approach swiftly and effectively.
The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.
The verse speaks about how we might make our plans, but ultimately God determines our steps. It reminds us that unexpected events and challenges are part of life, and we need to have the courage to adapt and trust in a higher power's guidance. This aligns with the Stoic pillar of Courage, as it encourages us to face unexpected events with strength and resilience.
