Why do we make plans? I guess to provide structure to our lives. Direction and focus. It is said by those wise people we refer to as "they", that if something doesn't go accordingly to plan, possibly it was not meant to be.
Clarity Girl has wrestled vigorously with this theory.
When I have wanted something in life and it didn't come to fruition, it was hard to accept. I'm talking about things beyond one's control. Believe it or not, some things are and will be out of reach. You can do everything "right", but still at the end, the result will not be what you expected. It will most certainly leave you to face everything for which you did not plan.
So what do you do? You get back on the horse. You can't give up. This is what life is all about so you keep at it and begin to work towards your goals again. That's what you're supposed to do. Right?
All the time we spend doing this and then it can still fall apart over and over. Maybe you have not experienced this falling apart I note. But, for those of you have, you'll understand when I ask, "how many things must go wrong, and for how long, before things start to go right again?".
Sometimes after a long battle with the forces of destruction, even if the smallest thing goes smoothly, it feels as exhilarating as hitting a walk off home run in a game 7. Having said that, if the smallest things go awry, it can resemble finding out Darth Vader is your father. "Luke I am your father...Search your feelings and you will know it to be true". Yah, great in the movie but still a blow to the psyche.
No matter how brief or long the ripples may be around, if we SEE them as such, they can be better used as building blocks for a quality life.

Possibly during the times we try so hard to avoid and a willingness to accept the instances life goes awry, which will be the true test of our character to create a new beginning vs. only an end. My Moment of Knowing #2.
