This topic focuses on issues that happen in our life that are totally out of our control. It could be something simple as our car breaking down at an unexpected time or finding out one day you are totally healthy one day and the next you are told you have cancer. These issues pop up and can affect your life insignificantly or greatly.
If there is a lot of random life issues taking place in your personal life, then it would be a good idea to see if they are really random or cause of your own. You will need to evaluate what is taking place and determine if it is something that you can have control over or if it is totally out of your hands. If it is something controllable, then you can make a big change in your life.
You can also try and prepare yourself for these random issues that can pop up in your personal life at any given time. While it is difficult as one can never truly know when these issues will occur, if you are well prepared, then you can possibly change the outcome quickly if they should occur. Example: With the car breaking down, you could have a saving fund just in case for car emergencies.
Random life issues occur to all of us on a daily basis. No matter how small or big they are, it is something we all have to deal with, as it is part of life. The main thing is how we attack these problems. Do we just take them as they come and fold when it becomes overbearing? Or do you try and tackle them head on and attempt to gain some control over something that you honestly have no real control over.
