Quote #334, My Thoughts and YOUR thoughts

Here goes Blog quote #334...

"We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."
-Joseph Campbell-

I didn't take this as whatever our goals are missions are, just throw them out the window. Goals, objectives and plans are all good things to have for direction in life.

I think what Campbell is saying, is that life doesn't always go according to our plans. In fact, most of the time, it doesn't! However, that's what makes life so interesting. That's what makes it fun. Non- boring. Unpredictable.

So I take the message here as follows... Be flexible. Be willing to change. Get ready for adaptation, because you never know what's around life's curve in the road.

Thats my view...what say you?

I am definitely a goal setter/planner kind of person (by choice)... and I know "things" don't always goes as planned. I've "trained" myself to accept the situation as it is & remind myself that "things always work out" becasue they do! I don't know HOW but that's just how it happens. Things ALWAYS work out, somehow, someway. Additionally my co-worker & i just had a discussion about "Every adversity has a benefit" you just have to believe it & look for the "benefit"...
That's what helen says....
