English term or phrase: he had a whole world of opportunities - and - uncertainties to look forward to
'He perhaps thought the end would be different, but now that he had a new lease in life, he had a whole world of opportunities – and uncertainties – to look forward to.'

I tried translating the above statement into : 'Beliau mungkin memikirkan pengakhiran yang berbeza, tetapi oleh kerana beliau telah diberi peluang baru dalam hidupnya, beliau mempunyai harapan dan ketidakpastian untuk diharapkan.'

It sounds quite awkward.
