If you don't know where you're going, you'll probably end up somewhere else.

So what if you do?

Why is it so important to know where we are going? Or is it important? What's wrong with ending up "somewhere else"? What is "else" if you've never defined "somewhere"?

Once again, it's about eating your rice (see October 11th post)--you gotta do what works for you-- and, be conscious of what works for you. If you are happy drifting and experiencing whatever comes up along the way, then good for you--especially if you have unlimited resources and the ability to detach from the opinions of others.

Perhaps the value of a future goal is what it causes us to do differently in this moment. The way it guides our choices today. Whether or not we say "yes" to the ice cream sundae.

It is when we are not clear or conscious of our intentions that things often go awry. If we have no goals and no intentions-- no worries!

"...I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."-- E.B. White
