More often than not, I wonder why I even bother making plans. Whether my plans be after-work plans, workout plans, weekend plans, vacation plans, career plans, social plans, or romance plans, these plans of mine hardly ever come to fruition.
I was reading this post from a few months back during my lunch break today. Remember these great plans I had made?? Remember how none of them came to be?? I was going to change the world!! Okay, maybe not the world but my life circumstances for sure.
Again, why do I even bother??
Then I remembered how many things have happened in spite of my plans. A beginning to a career I love, dating an incredible man, deciding to marry that incredible man, finding a place to live, meeting some people who can help me get where I want to be in 15 or 20 years...the list goes on. Seriously, God, the world, and life have been so good to me.
So now my question is why do I bother trying so hard to make my plans happen?? Clearly I can't predict the future. I mean, if I could, I wouldn't try so hard to do things that weren't supposed to happen. Talk about wasted energy. And usually money too.
So here's to the next set of plans I know I'll make but that won't really happen. And here's to knowing that whatever does happen will be so much better than what I had planned.
Cheers!!
