Planning While Going with the Flow

How to Plan and Remain Open to All Possibilities The fine line between planning and going with the flow is something that I struggle with. I am a planner. I am one of those people who plans each day before I go to bed, and at the end of each week, I plan the next. This is my natural temperament, but I also value the necessity of going with the flow. Many times the unplanned path has turned out to present opportunities that I never could have dreamed of, let alone plan for. In Lin McDowell’s blog Planning with Intention, she makes the point that planning and being open to all possibilities are not only NOT mutually exclusive but actually compliment each other. Her point is that if we begin by getting in touch with our inner core and understanding what our intention is we can set goals and make plans while remaining open to all possibilities.
