In this episode, we look at how you can be ready for the future by asking a number of key questions.

But that is not necessarily true because, most of the time, we're taken aback by how unpredictable the future is. Whether you’re currently weathering storms, just got fired from your dream job, or waiting for an acceptance call, here’s a simple guide to being ready for anything life throws your way, because living is a bit more tricky than lemons and oranges.

In today's episode, we'll be learning how to get prepared for the unknown. Here are some of the tips that you should follow in order to be prepared for the future:

7.What are you going to do to be able to change things if something unexpected happens?
