It seems just when you think you've got life figured out and everything might be almost okay and you've been brave enough to actually come up with a new plan, life throws a curve ball and your plan goes to shit.
I don't plan like I used to, but I guess I still plan a little. I'll just never learn to stop that completely because it is 100% pointless.
In a book I love about Taoism it says that you should have no wants or desires or plans. You should just live. Just go with it and chill out.
I wish.
I am trying to live on a smaller scale though, one day at a time. What do I feel like I should do today? What can I do today? In this one day? Because this day is really all you've got. You could be dead five minutes from now. And then all that worrying is for nothing.
It's a hard concept...to just live a day at a time and not plan, or worry. But it's just the way you have to live if you ever want to make it through tragedy. You just have to focus on this moment and what you can do with it. Making plans means disappointment when they don't work out. Thinking of the whole future is just too overwhelming. Just focus on one day at a time. This day is all there is.
