For most of my childhood or early teens I refused to believe that planning was an essential part of life. I believed that life was supposed to be spontaneous and everything would work out just fine if we didn’t put so myself effort into planning everything we had to do.
Fast forward to this day time I realize how foolish it was for thinking that way because as much as I was in denial then, there was still so much proof that planning was essential. I wish I had come to terms with this reality earlier than now, I feel there were a lot of opportunities that I wouldn’t have missed if I had just planned before for them. Or could it just be fate and the universe will work it out for me regardless? A very shit lie.
Sadly opportunities don’t come to you because the universe decides it( though I do believe that to a point), they come to those who are prepared, I’m digressing but stick with me, you’re here already.
Back to planning, if there is no slot available or in this case if you have not planned for certain opportunities, there is no way they can come to you no matter how much you deserve them. I’m not saying you plan opportunities but you know, you don’t get to handle things you’re not prepared to handle.
The reason I’m writing on this is because I was having a conversation with my sister earlier today and the conversation was about how everyone is broke this January. It’s crazy! And then in that moment I remembered when I made a very impulsive and reckless purchase last year, I felt pain😂 and I told her if I had planned better against this year there was no way I would’ve been broke but oh well, here I am.
You’re probably wondering what the heck you’re reading because the way I started this and how it’s going now is really confusing. Well people, that is the way my mind works. You see how we started talking about planning, then opportunities and then my reckless purchases, that’s just how it comes to me. I always say this to myself (“always” meaning a few days ago),
“You don’t need to understand just feel, read and write.”
I’m adding this because for a few weeks now I haven’t posted anything on Hive, not like I didn’t have what to post but I just kept on picking apart and over scrutinizing every single thing I write. Is this how it normally is? Am I going to pick apart every single thing I write? I do hope it changes or I find a way to trick my brain into not doing that.
I feel so much better, thanks for reaching this far. Enjoy the rest of your day. Stay curious.
At least you recognize now the importance of planning and it is not yet too late to start :) As to writing, sometimes we overthink but as long as you enjoy what you write about then it's already good :)

STOPI learned to plan a long time ago.
It got me out of debt in a systematic way to; graduate out of Nursing school and into a job right of way, save enough to qualify for a conventional mortgage for my home, and after twenty years+ my home is fully paid off.
I even set inside my budget Christmas, birthday gift giving and donation targets.
It takes some good discipline but it saves a lot of headaches and uncertainty.
I'm somewhat in the same boat writing-wise.
I have plenty of posts on a whole bunch of back burners. I over think, over scrutinize to almost no end. That is on top of a neurological issue that limits my ability to type and also seasonal emotion issues that often manifest in January to March. My attention span is low and short termed at this time.
At least I'm persistent on Hive, nor giving up.
