I think that it’s pretty fair to say that we all plan something or the other everyday of our lives. I, for one, am obsessed with planning and preparing just about EVERYTHING all day. And a couple of days back it just hit me that maybe, just maybe, that is the reason I feel disappointed and dissatisfied almost all the time.
I’m not going to lie here and say that I’m the happiest person alive and I have everything I’ve ever wanted and so on. I haven’t. I am honestly unhappy with the ways things turn out most of the time and I can recollect exactly two occasions when things have gone the way I’ve planned. But that may just be the problem. I plan everything in my life to every minute detail, be it on paper or in my head that all that ends up happening is that I remain malcontented. And this isn’t just for me but it is for all the overly organized people out there.
On the other hand though, you absolutely cannot disagree with the fact that planning is necessary. Many people I know tell me off every day for planning so much because for them, “the best occasions are the ones that haven’t been planned or prepared”. And to an extent, you could agree with them. But think about it – what would be the relied success rate of unplanned events? Personally, I would go with 30%. But that’s just me.
In conclusion, I feel that planning is a vital part of our everyday lives. But sometimes, we tend to go overboard with our heads, and ultimately all that happens, is that our head produces an event in paradise, and what we face finally is, well, an event on solid earth.
