Remember Kindergarten? We were always asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Some of us wanted to be doctors, others firemen, still others astronauts, but as Kindergartners we knew little about the world and ourselves to make such a determination. Our parents and teachers thought our declarations were adorable, but they didn't hold us to them.
We all create plans for our lives, some much more rigid than others. We dream about who we want to be, what career we will have, the house we will live in. Hopes and dreams for the future can be beautiful things as long as we allow them to be something akin to a Choose Your Own Adventure book; one decision leads to another with an exciting outcome.
Too often we believe that having a plan provides us with control. This false sense of security, this believe that we can control the ambiguity of our future, often stands in the path of what is possible. Sometimes we have to get out of our own way and allow the future to unfold to be truly happy.
