Artists and musicians and freelancers often say things like…
I had some unexpected time off.
An unexpected gig came up.
We had some unexpected complications on the tour.
An unexpected opportunity landed in my lap…and then the unexpected opportunity unexpectedly got cancelled.
How often do these things have to be unexpected before realize they’re just part of the lifestyle? That they are to be expected. So when they inevitably happen (both the good and the bad), we aren’t surprised, we take it in stride and we don’t get distracted by the unexpectedness.
