So, this post is brought to you by the ladies pictured above.
It was after class the other day that I happened to be right next to them as they were talking about their plans. One girl explained how she has always known her plan. She received 48 credits in High School, always knew that she was going to attend the University of Utah and then was going to get her Ph.D. She took 24 credits this semester and plans on taking 21 credits next semester. Not to mention she is getting a double major in Anthropology and Mass Comm. She just always knew it was her plan. The next girl always knew she was going to get her associates from Dixie and then attend the U, followed by a Masters. She too also went on to explain how she has to follow a plan, and BLAH,BLAH,BLAH.
I'm sitting there like well I guess I just fly by the seat of my pants ladies because this lady has no plan. The truth is there once was a plan. I remember I stood up in my Sports Marketing Class senior year and explained to the class my plan.I told them how I was going to travel and not get married until I was about 23 or so. I was going to get my degree, and someday be a News Anchor. One day that plan went up in flames. I changed my idea about marriage, and I decided it was okay that I was going to get married at 19. And don't get me wrong it would have been okay, it would be okay to get married at any age.
Here's the deal.
I am not married. I haven't traveled much. Reason being I learned this thing called life actually requires money to survive. I have decided I don't really want to be an News Anchor. I will however get my degree. Someday.
I walked away asking myself, What happened to my PLAN? What is my PLAN? I realized I honestly don't have a plan.
The thing about having a PLAN is that things change. One day could change everything. Sometimes there is another plan for us and we need to be willing to let that plan happen. I know if I would have stuck with my first idea of a "PLAN" I would not be here. I would not have learned these valuable lessons.
So, although I don't have one specific path that I am willing to follow, I do however have many plans. I change my mind everyday. I don't know exactly where I am going to end up, but I do know that I am doing what is right for me.
Moral of the story is... Don't Panic.
Everything will happen as it should, even if it doesn't go exactly as YOU planned.
