The author explains that many of the challenges we face on Earth stem from our rigid plans. When things don't go as expected, instead of adapting to the situation, people often react emotionally. This emotional response can be overwhelming and distracts from addressing the real issue at hand.
Holiday suggests that, for some, the urge to panic and react dramatically may sometimes feel more comfortable than confronting the problems directly. Embracing adversity and finding ways to navigate through challenges is essential for personal growth and success.
