Happy new week, everyone! I hope you're having a great day.
This week’s contest is one that requires deep thought. It’s all about our approach to life. A big thank you to the organizer of this contest! @priyanarc

Do you believe in having a structured routine or a more spontaneous approach to life?
For me, I prefer a structured approach but always with a Plan B. I once faced a situation where my plans fell apart, and I decided to go with a more spontaneous approach. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out well for me, it felt like I was just trying things randomly without a clear direction.
Let me give you an example. There was a time when my business was doing well, and I had enough money to buy whatever I wanted. Life felt smooth, and I never thought of saving. But things changed before the COVID period when people struggled to survive with the little they had.
Imagine a woman with kids trying to sustain herself during such a tough time. That was when I turned to farming, and believe me, it became a very profitable venture. Since covid has passed, I am still into it because through the proceeds I am able to get what to eat with my family.
There was a point when I had no idea what my children and I would eat the next day. As a mother, begging wasn’t an option. Some church members offered financial aid, but I realized they, too, were struggling. They had worked hard to create a backup plan just to support me. That made me ask myself, why should I rely on others when I still had my hands, legs, and strength? That was when I decided to go into farming.
I had a landed property which was my inheritance and it was unused. I quickly called up someone to clear it off so i can get space to farm.

I am taking my to explain this because i wouldn’t like anyone to get into it. If for any reason you take life to be spontaneous, kindly have a plan B. Infact if you are also structuring your activities have a plan B incase it didn’t work out they way you expected.
In life, it’s always better to have a structured approach with a Plan B.
As my boss always says, relying on spontaneity and hoping things will always work out is risky. Yes, there may always be a way out, but what if there isn’t?
Thanks, ladies, for reading my blog! Until I come your way again, I’ll check out other entries to see if I can participate. Have a lovely week!
