"If one does not know which port one sails to, no wind is favorable" - Marcus Aurelius (emperor of Rome)

Of course i can plan my life. In fact everyone should plan their lives as a blueprint of what to do. whether it gets done depends on if i stick to it, if circumstances allows it... etc.

It's way better than "happy go lucky" and living by the day. Animals does that, we humans have developed consciousness that extends beyond that of an animal and have the ability to aspire, to dream, to plan, to look beyond the natural needs of survival.

I see it as my prerogative to not only plan, but stick to it and execute.
