How Can You Plan Towards the Future Without Knowing What It May Hold?
How do you know what to pack for a trip if you have no idea where you are going to travel to?
If you are going to the beaches of the Hawai’i, the cold mountains of the Alps, or the busy streets of New York City, you will have to pack different things.
In the same way, if you want to be able to plan for your future you must first know where you are going to go.
Now, life is a bit more complicated than that.
While you can set your vacation destination simply by picking a defined spot on a map, you cannot do the same for life.
There is no map, there are not even set destinations.
All you can do is set a general course, say to a certain continent, and do your best to plan your way very generically in that direction.
Yet, if you plan a course to Asia, there will still be a multitude of ways to get there.
You can approach it from every angle and could approach it by land, sea or air.
What’s more is that you will not necessarily end up in the exact location you want, for Asia is quite large and diverse.
That is what planning for your life is like.
