Go with the Flow


Ever wondered why every plan has to get messed up somehow? People plan out their lives - how they are going to go on a vacation or how they will save up for something in the future and it practically never works out. It’s interesting why these plans never work out. Is going with the flow of things really that much better of an option compared to planning?

Planning surely has it’s plus point, like my mom plans her vacations perfectly and they go smooth unlike this one time she planned this whole trip to Germany and it failed miserably because of a major setback. Plans always get ruined eventually so what’s the point? Sticking to the plan when everything is going wrong is even worse. When a plan falls out of place everything turns into chaos and that chaos is fun for some but crazy for others who can’t handle the stress.

I used to have plans but now I just go with the flow and don’t care about the outcomes and it has pretty much worked for me. Over-analyzing is a king-kong mega bitch! Planning surely has its plus points but the flow is something that is constant – it yields its own reward. Like I thought I would be a commerce graduate like my sister but 4 years later, here I am doing Arts and pursuing English literature and I love it. Things never go the way you want them to and when they don’t, just sit back, relax and see what happens. Don’t expect anything because expectations always let you down. Not having expectations always makes even the most miniscule incident of your day really awesome. So sit back and let things go the way they do. Trying to control everything only makes it worse.
