Just go with it...

No two days are the same. Each day is different than the one before. Each one sends me sailing down a different, temporary path that is either smooth or somewhat bumpy. Some days are extremely unpredictable and make me feel like I'm in a giant pinball machine being operated by a 10-year-old hyperactive boy. And other days are so calm that I find myself immersed in a tranquil state of being that I always make sure to take full advantage of. The part that I find most fascinating (and somewhat disturbing), is that you never know how the day will turn out. Not only will my tomorrow be different than my today, but it will be different than your tomorrow and your today. I like to think I have my tomorrow planned out (and trust me, it's planned out), but it's impossible to plan for every detail that will come along with my schedule. That's where the term "go with the flow" comes into play. Throughout this journey, I've realized just how important it is to be adaptable. It's important to know that every detail will not pan out exactly how you pictured it would. And it's important to accept that. Things are going to come up that you did not plan for, no matter how large or small they may be. And as long as you are able to shift gears, and adapt to your current situation, you will find yourself a happier person at the end of the day. I promise you that. 


I am a daydreamer. As if it wasn't obvious, I like to let my mind be creative, especially when it comes to picturing future occurrences. I like to think about tomorrow, and the days to follow. I like to picture scenarios in my head and see how they actually turn out, comparing the two. Sometimes I am disappointed with the outcome, but quickly realize that perhaps I wouldn't be so disappointed if I wouldn't have daydreamed as elaborately as I had. And other times I am pleasantly surprised, when the outcome is greater than what I had pictured in my mind. Just another one of my random traits that you now know about me, if you didn't already. 


So let's plan for tomorrow. Let's plan to go with whatever flow we need to go with and let minor details work themselves out, because they always do. Let's look to tomorrow with a new attitude and with new purpose. Let's plan for a good tomorrow. 

I was inspired by the Chicago River and its ability to "go with the flow".
