It's essential in life that we set goals for ourselves. Having something to look forward to, a milestone to pass, or an accomplishment that we want to make gives us the purpose that we need everyday. I've spent a lot of my life not planning, letting my dice fall where they may, sometimes picking them up and casting them again, while others being tossed about by the whims of fortune. There is something to be said of a fatalistic method such as that, it can lead you to your ultimate state of being eventually, but upon getting closer to that state...it's time to take the reins and begin to drive that wild horse of destiny to the place that you want to go.
Destiny is no slave to be mastered,
she is a vicious, trying horse
and you..
but a rider.

I prefer the idea of flotsam and jetsam. This notion of targets, goals etc goes against the grain of beautiful chaos and unexpected magical occurences - the essence of life... short term goals like holidays is what gives my life direction.
I've lived much of life as a piece of flotsam, but I'm slowly coming to the realization that being adrift without a path to the flow will only lead in a grand circle.
