Seems like things never turn out quite like you planned, doesn’t it? Some unknown is always waiting around the corner. Sometimes it’s a nice surprise. Other times it can be a big unexpected mess. By now you’ve probably figured out that that’s how life is. It’s odd. It’s impossible to predict. You can’t expect to do things the same way for the rest of your life and get the same results. But you can adapt. Flexibility and a good sense of humor can get you through more strangeness and put you at the forefront of more opportunities than any grey matter or muscles might. Of course, you should keep making plans for the future; long-term goals need some long-range thinking. Just give yourself plenty of options. Create a plan for your current situation, and have something up your sleeve for when that situation goes kablooey.
