Sometimes in life, it occurs to me that the best metaphor is a ship sailing from one port to another, from one “destination” to another. I think sometimes many of us–this applies certainly to me–panic when we don’t know immediately what is next. What’s coming. What’s over the horizon.
More ocean, then something else. You will know when you get there.
It doesn’t hurt to have a daily plan, and goals of all lengths, but much of life consists in just continuing to show up in various ways, and much of what happens, we didn’t see coming at all. Be open to change. Look for it. Welcome it. That is how exploring is done.
