There Are Things That We Can't Control And Plan.


It is probably in our nature as human beings to aim for control over all the things that are happening to us. And we do this by planning, by organizing, by plotting out our actions in advance. And in many cases, we succeed.

But, there comes a point when we realize that some of the most beautiful and some of the most important things in life cannot be planned - they come out naturally. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to polish out all the details, playing with them in our hand, things still happen outside of the plan. And even if we try to create a sort of controlled timeline in our life, some things just happen at their own time. 

In one of my previous posts, I talked about putting a timer on love - or let's apply that to life in general. Some things cannot be governed by a timer, because they move at their own pace. Sometimes we think we have it all controlled, we have it all tamed, and then something just happens or snaps and the plan is forgotten.

And when everything has happened, when the plan is altered and the details go out of control, we realize that the world doesn't end - it still rotates in its own axis. Life goes on. And we begin to wonder, maybe everything was meant to happen the way it happened.
