Great post – one of the problems is that because long term patterns are so subtle we tend to deny them when they tell us information we don’t want to accept; for example that someone we care deeply about is using us for short term gains with no intention of meeting their long term agreement with us.

You find yourself in a constant type of emotional state without being able to put a finger on exactly why – this is because of an over-reliance on words. When you learn to ‘see’ patterns you look at things visually and emotionally and it can be quite difficult to admit that what you are seeing in recurring patterns is actually happening.

Making relationship decisions about who you relate to on the basis of behavioural patterns you observe in others rather than on the basis of what they say to you is a big step in facing up to the realities of life.

No successes if there are no plans.
Do not be trapped in simple and single matters.
sticking to what you want to do and throw away the annoy things in your mind, under a good introduction, then you will be where you want!

maybe it is right! generally it is right!

Sid,
You’re right, proper planning will make our life look less random and more predictable. Your plan helps you see the big picture despite the day-by-day fluctuations.

Donald -

I agree, without planning, the important events in your life will look more random than directed, whereas long term goals (and purpose) help guide us, and make the important milestones we come across more predictable

I try to set goals that build upon the success of each other with varying intervals for review (1 month, 6 months, years, etc) in this same vein – although sometimes, large random events still do change my life’s trajectory.
