"Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans." ---John Lennon
So many times while our plans are being formulated, life steps in and changes them. Something happens in our life to make us stop and take another direction.
Later we discover that the direction we had to take led us to success and what we were destined to do. The right career or pathway opened up for us and we were on our way.
Sometimes the events are spectacular and at other times just barely noticeable. The ones that are just barely noticeable are usually the ones we follow, because we are creatures of habit and resist change. Our life is still altered when even the smallest change occurs.
When we make plans we usually do not have a contingency plan. We do not like surprises that life can hand us. Life sneaks up on us and what we have planned for does not happen and we are forced to make drastic changes sometimes.
It is this process of living, getting surprised when life has the twists and turns, that forces us to sit back and review our plans, then make new ones.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Life does not correspond to the plans we make but rather to what we need to do in life. The grand plan of our lives has been drawn before we ever knew about it. We just have to find it.
