Looking to the Future

I say looking to future as if you can really see what the future holds.
You live today like you know what is coming tomorrow..
You prepare what you will wear tomorrow and what's for dinner.
If you don't plan for the future will that change it?

Not really you just aren't as prepared>>
But then again how can you really prepare for the unknown?
You really can't you have to fake it when something happens that shakes your world.
You hope all the experiences that you have faced in the past will help you deal with the
challenges in the future.
They sometimes fall short.
And when they do you form a new defensive system. New coping mechanisms, new
ways of coping. Or at least telling yourself that you will be a better person because
of the opportunities to grow will somehow make you stronger, smarter, better to handle
what lies ahead.
That is what makes you successful at life having a strategy, a angle, next move. Looking for
the next challenge and preparing for the move you will make if your (opponent=problem) tries to block or stop you. Sometimes life surprises you and make another move one that you did not
even see. Then your skills come into play how will you handle it, walk away from the game?
Not a chance....
What helps you cope with life's opponents?
