Totally Prepared to be Caught Completely Off-Guard

It's ironic how mixed emotions can be. I spend my time planning, arranging, organizing, only to find that I must drop it all and experience true and utter spur-of-the-moment feelings and adventures. What a difficult task for someone who so unwaveringly loves to be prepared. I've been told by two very wise people in my life to just 'let it happen.' But let what happen? Certainly I must be prepared to let it happen. To know exactly what's going to happen, before it happens, so that I may make the most of what happens. Isn't that correct? Of course not. It would be too simple that way. Experiences are about letting 'it' happen. Whatever 'it' may be. That way, when it does come along in our lives, we will find ourselves standing on the brink of a new life, new lessons, and new love. Let it happen. Learn to be you. No matter what stands in your way. Learn to experience things as they come, and don't plan them so strictly, because then you might miss out on everything!

Let it happen.
