Life has a mind of its own and everyone goes through acceptance of that. Life doesn't always go as you planned. Plan all you want and put in your best efforts. That's where your control stops. After that, you need to leave it up to the universe to recognize your efforts and give you what you seek. Sometimes, that doesn't happen and you may feel cheated. But, know that what happens is always for your own good. You'll realize that in due time.

Never shy away from making plans and putting in the work!
