JOHN LENNON:
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
Plans:
Isn't it funny how nothing ever goes as planned? or maybe it goes as planned just not as we had hoped? are all of our actions predestined? is someone out there pulling the strings and changing our plans? I like to think that something is in charge of our lives, some force, we cannot see it or touch it, we simply feel it. Something that tells us to wait five minutes to leave, or take another route home. Something that irrevocably changes our plans without notice. Life has a way of changing things and we should embrace the changes. Instead of getting mad that your plane is late, or that a car in front of you is driving slow, accept it. You cannot change these things and to get upset over them will benefit no one. So, even if everything isn't going as "planned" they are happening for a reason. Embrace that reason.
Question of the Day: if you could plan out your whole life, without anything ever changing, would you?
I would not want to plan out my whole life.....the changes that happen unexpectedly are some of the best things that happen in our lives...some changes may not be so good, but the ones that are wonderful or maybe are something we didn't think to plan into our lives and would have missed out on make up a larger percentage and I wouldn't want it any other way. Even things that happen that are not so good can turn into something that they didn't look like at first glance.
ReplyDeleteIt is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. Charles Darwin This quote was on my ice tea cap the other day and it made me very happy. While I am not good with change --I am learning...
ReplyDeleteNo, I would not plan my life!
Great Question!
