The Mess We Were Destined For

“A plan that is too finely woven will soon lie in tatters. Daily plans are tidy but life is messy.” – Tim Hartford

I think we all have dreams.

And to achieve dreams, we have goals.

And to achieve goals, we have rhythms. 

And to have a rhythm, we have a plan.

Goals, rhythms, plans, and dreams… all great things. 

But also, life rarely follows a plan or rhythm. 

Life, well, it’s a little messier.

And that’s okay.

When your plans start to unravel, that’s okay.  Hold them loosely.  Because what makes life, life, isn’t the prescripted plan along the way but the mess that takes us to what we were truly made for.
