Life is often unpredictable, and we can find ourselves facing unexpected events even on what we believe will be an ordinary day. This reflects the inherent surprises and twists that come our way, illustrating how quickly circumstances can change. Such experiences remind us of the uncertainty of life and the importance of adaptability.

In her book "Becoming Me," Melody Carlson captures this essence by likening life's unpredictability to a box of chocolates, much like the famous quote from Forrest Gump. Just like chocolates, life presents us with various surprises, and we can never be quite sure of what we will encounter next. This unpredictability keeps life interesting and teaches valuable lessons along the way.
