Plan On Enjoying the Journey

     Planning is our weapon for staying focused, moving towards our goal and seeing a light at the end of the tunnel that we can strive for.  Planning has advantages in that it helps use make choices that maybe informed and therefore more rational.  Planning helps you realize where you want to go.  With that being said, I now am laughing.

I laugh because there seems to be very few things in life we can actually plan.  The more experience I gain the more I realize that I am not in control.  Most of my planning seems to be short term and daily because I know life has many options, and what we think we need and want changes daily.  We can count on change to happen so putting huge amounts of time and effort into planning maybe for nothing.  We plan often to bring us some sense of security.  Although we know for example if we plan for financial security, the stock market could crash, we could loose it to a scoundrel, or we could even die.  Again, planning is basically a focus for achievement in the future.
     What I personally believe is that we have little control so planning just helps you get pointed towards your selected ending.  Its the journey a long that  direction that counts.  Enjoy it because that journey is called life.
 So be flexible so you can recover from interrupted plans and get the most out of each journey.
     I love the bumper sticker that says "God Laughs When You Plan".
