Go With The Flow

In life, we learn that sometimes it’s just best to ‘go with the flow’.
Although the skill of planning is known to help things ‘flow’ more, too much can cause chaos.
Why?
Well, as we know, not everything goes according to plan in life, so too much planning may leave you with that unfulfilled, feeling of failure.
To not plan, means more time for spontaneous decisions and pleasant surprises. These surprises may give you joy, but then this can also leave you with the uncertainty of what to do next.
When you ‘go with the flow’, you have a basic idea of what you want to happen, but you leave enough space in your mind for the unexpected to take the leash.
