So Here is "The Plan"

     Have you ever heard that one before?
     I think it is a wonderful idea to plan. Your day, Your life, Your career, Your family, Your retirement.
     But it seems like every single time I plan, something happens and the "plan" has to change. So if you are aware, you adapt to the change and go with the flow, and can change your plan without a meltdown.
     But there are some people who choose differently and make loud noises, how life is not fair (I didn't know it was supposed to be), that they are the "victim" of someone/something else, and that it is not their fault. It makes me wonder then, if they are not in control of their circumstances, how DO they get through life? When things don't go the way you plan do you stop eating? Do you stop taking care of your daily activities like watching tv?, listening to the radio, talking with your friends/family? Do you stop taking a shower/bath? Oh my, look at me asking all these mundane questions. Of course you do these things, you get out of bed, do your daily routine, eat, watch tv, or listen to the radio, or read the paper, the things that give you some type of comfort will be the last thing you will ever give up.
     Life may NOT be going on around you according to YOUR plan, but LIFE IS going on with or without you. Will you choose to participate and learn to adapt to change, or will you choose to continue to make yourself (and everyone you come in contact with) miserable until nobody wants to listen to you any longer and by the way, at some point people will start to tune you out.
     My wish for you is, to take the high road, have the courage to reinvent yourself. Is it scary to do this? Sure it is. Is there a payoff for you if you do this? That depends, are you ready to find out?
