Life Strategies
Do you know what you are going to do today? Tomorrow? In one month, year, decade? Do you plan it or you go with the flow?Do you have a route map in your life travel or you just wander about :)
Do you make little steps or do you sprint?
Do you follow the ancient moto:
Festina lente ("Make haste slowly")
or Shakespear's verses:
There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.
Do you stop here and there and explore other paths, enjoy the scenery, the sunrise/sunset? Or you concentrate on the distance and the direction?
I personally, like to plan things and to act with clear purpose. I have great patience and put all my efforts in what I follow. On the other hand, I can be impulsive and grab the moment when I feel it.
I believe that there is a lot of truth in the saying:
Our destiny depends on our personality.

Like this Boticelli Venus (that you look very much alike):
PS: I have also found that the road less traveled has more interesting scenery and the less trafic allows one to stop and examine it better .
And interesting metaphors about the road... Usually when we are young, we feel like the center of the world. When we build a family and have children, we focus on them and sometimes forget about our own needs. With grown-up children, we can get back to ourselves: with the experience and wisdom we have gained
Or the contrary: a very concentrated one because you ll have to pay attention on what s coming your way and to take instant decisions?
You are right that we should be less or more humble in planning our future. Yet the boldness to rule our life is a tempting challenge for us humans :)
