Put down that map and get wonderfully lost.

When in talks with people I hear a lot of longing for structure. For a road map, for how it will look in the future. For plans, programs, curricula, longing for certainty.

I experience that life is not a fixed plan, does not have a fixed road map, it is not input-throughput-output how life, at least mine, looks like. You can have a wished for idea, but it always comes out different.

And also it is great not to have a plan. To wander around. To have an overall idea about what you want to do, and just start doing it. Because on that moment it is needed, or you feel like, or you want to.

Also there is a saying I have always in mind: "Take it from here with the given facts" . In daily life, facts are changing. Constantly. Outside happenings change how we can and sometimes have to cope with the current situation.

And, imagine the feeling of getting wonderfully lost. Wonderful, isn't it?
