Planning

What will you be when you grow up?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Looking to the future and setting goals,
How far should you look?
How detailed and rigid should you be?
Planning and planning ahead,
Wishing and dreaming of that someday,
When all is perfect and well in your world.
What’s stopping you from starting today?
Plan in this moment and make it happen,
Don’t map your whole life out.
Tomorrow may hold a surprise.
It could throw you for a loop,
Change your life forever.
That someday could fly out the door.
Your dreams could be paled
By the light of new opportunities,
Your wishes too small for new fortune.
All the time planning and thinking,
Wasted and thrown to the wind.
Know where you’re heading,
Where it is you’re wanting to go.
Have a few plans, but go with the flow.
Allow the Universe to give you its best,
Don’t limit the possibilities.
Go forth with all that you can
And let someday be now.
