"Everything that happens is convenient"
"There is no evil that does not come with good"
These proverbs or sayings are always in my head when I have to plan to achieve a goal. I always have a plan B, I have never needed to have a plan C. Since I was little, my mother told me that I had to know what I wanted in order to know what to do and how to do it. So it was that my first big project was to become a doctor. I knew that to access university I had to study at the best high school in my area. I prepared for the entrance exams, I wanted to be admitted to the specialty of biology which was in line with medicine as a profession. I tried hard but they gave me a mathematics major. To do? It was not what I wanted, but I still enrolled, I had a strong preparation in mathematics and when the university admission exams arrived, I was rewarded for following my plan B, mathematics was the most difficult exam, but for me nothing extraordinary, there was I've been preparing for 3 years.
So it's true that fun without planning is better. But life is not all fun. I always have a plan A and a plan B, I have never used a plan C, but if it happened I accept it as such.
"It is better to want what you have and not have what you want", it is not being conformist or not fighting for what you want, it is valuing what we have, taking advantage of it and when possible we will have what we want if we really want it.
Not disagreeing with any of that. I call this plan C as a rhetoric device since plan B is sort of an established term in the freedom movement, its more about the processes that some might need to get going if/when they get thrown into the unknown for real :-)
Fun without planning is better? I've never been thinking like that, perhaps except for the wild years any teenager should have haha
I know many try to live like that, with no plans whatsoever, but then that is the plan, to just drift... That is not for me, but I can go into that "mode" with a strategy or overall plan when I have to, which in my opinion will be an essential skill for anyone in the years to come, especially those who have never had their plan A and B unravel due to external circumstances...
