The majority of people don't want to plan. They want to be free of the responsibility of planning. What they ask for is merely some assurance that they will be decently provided for. The rest is a day-to-day enjoyment of life. That's the explanation for your Father Divines; people naturally flock to anyone they can trust for the necessities of life... They are the backbone of a community — solid, trust-worthy, essential.

La vida es eso que sucede mientras haces planes.

Life is what is happening today while you were planning tomorrow

Without a plan, we do what’s passive and easy — not what is really fulfilling. Robert Epstein surveyed thirty thousand

La vida es fácil si se vive un día, cada día, sin pensar en los ayeres ni afanarse por los mañanas

The reason I don't have a plan is because if I have a plan I'm limited to today's options

La planificación a largo plazo está a menudo infravalorada en nuestro mundo indefinido y cortoplacista.

The idea of long-term planning is a relatively new concept from a human evolution standpoint. We weren’t evolved to live this long and have to make plans for the very distant future. Storing food for the next month or two, sure. But, to think about stocking away a retirement nest egg in case I’m retired for 30 years? This is relatively foreign. You couple that novel aspect of planning with the idea that we’re very swayed by everything that is happening in the present. It’s very easy to ignore the long, long run, and really hard to ignore all the pulls on our attention right now. Spending more money right now and eating something delicious right now — it’s appealing to do those things because we know we get the rewards right now. But to not do those things — to not spend, to not eat unhealthily — so that our long-run selves can be better off, well, that’s a hard proposition for a lot of people because the present is so powerful.” — Dr. Hal Hershfield38

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planed for you? Not much.

How do most people live without any thought? There are many people in the world, — you must have noticed them in the street, — how do they live? How do they get strength to put on their clothes in the morning?

What you can plan is too small for you to live. What you can live wholeheartedly will make enough plans

Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.

Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.

La vida es aquello que ta sucediendo mientras te empeñas en hacer otros planes.
