OK, the first time I read this one, I didn’t really think much of it. But then I just read GypsyGirl’s comment, and all of a sudden it really makes sense. Lots of people will tell you that having goals is super important. But being open to possibilities is a much more exciting prospect!
As Steve Jobs, in his commencement address to Stanford University graduates, one of his first points was about dots and how we connect them or try to make them connect all too often. He later states that it is okay to not be able to connect them at the present, but rather see the connections later on between everything that you do.
Also, I believe it is more fun thinking about different routes to take and having goals, but with no particular timeline to get them all done in. This way there would be openings for simple chances to occur.
Often times something greater emerges when you take a chance.

I absolutely do. The richness in my life comes from accepting life’s curve balls with a yes attitude!
