Unexpected destinations

Sure it is good to have a plan, say from A to B. But beware the peddlers of certainty, life happens at the edge of the circle where risk and uncertainty are.

The best things in life can not be found on a pre-planned straight line from one point to another.

Yes, we need to have a vision of where we want to go. Too rigid a plan can stifle the real magic of life.

What we need is something to act as the catalyst to start

Then the riskier, more exciting route, is to just let things unfold and to go with it. If you go the wrong way, you can always take another route.

Just keep creating, trying, testing, exploring, being curious and going down the unknown paths.

Go wandering and let the magic unfold, discover life’s wonderful and unexpected destinations.

Doubt

Doubt is a normal thing that we all face in life.

But doubt is not always something to be afraid of. We live in a world where increasingly we have become conditioned to certainty, safety, no risk.

So that has made us even more fearful of having any doubt about things. Self-doubt serves no long-term purpose, as all decision we make are the best that we can make at that moment in time.

But doubting things we are told is good, or doubting a process, or doubting a system, it leads to being curious, to challenging, to be inventive and to using our imaginations. It can lead to things being better.

Don’t listen to the critics or the doubt of others, don’t doubt yourself, make up your own conclusions based on your intuition.

But to never doubt anything is a dangerous place.
