Today's Gentle Reminder
Planning

We, Wave Riders, appear to be either obsessive planners with so many lists that we take to making lists of our to do lists, or we don't plan at all waiting for the next wave of inspiration to come to us.

When we leave our future to the whim of the wave - we flounder in our little boat, from north to west to south and east....we never steer our boat toward our future goals and the tides change what might have been our final destination so frequently, that we never reach the shore.

The "drug" of the high ride might make us believe that life is more fun just bobbing along and seeing where we end up - an adventure not meant to be controlled. That same high ride might make us list endless details about a project that we are not even sure we are going to do - we "know" every minute detail and of course we can list the thousands of dollars "it" will bring to us.

Today's gentle reminder is to remember to flexible enough to divert our plan to a better path when necessary, but be focussed enough to know what we truly want in our lives. Without placing some form of plan and destination in our journey, we can easily fall prey to the next tide of emotion that tells us we should be a rock star, or business tycoon, instead of the dancer or teacher we desire to be.

Your destination is what you know in your heart and soul, is your place. You know because you want to be there when you are "up", when you are "down", and when you are in the middle. Don't jump on the next "great opportunity" that comes along, "to solve your financial situation", if it does not fit in the plan you created in the mid-wave. Wait...long enough to check to see if you need to be flexible with your plan, or to see that it is just another dangerous current ready to take away resources and energy that you do not want or need to spare.

Set your course,
Indigo
