I've always considered myself a planner. I like to know the variables, anticipate outcomes and consequences, factor in the resources I have to use, create a loose timetable and go from there.
Structure and knowledge in this form makes me feel more secure in whatever task or endeavor I am intent on participating in. Well, sometimes I get slapped upside the head and reminded that my comfort zone is not always the best place to be.
Recent events in my life have me responding in almost a completely different fashion. While the end result is still the goal, my attitude has become more in line with Carpe Diem. Do what you can, while you can, with whatever resources you have right now. None of us know what tomorrow holds, so doing what we can today can be our ticket to internal freedom. While I am not promoting irresponsibility in the form of radical compulsion, what I am advocating is doing whatever you can to feed yourself, your dreams and those you care about everyday.
