The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men

August 7th, 2007 by jevon Leave a reply »

What do you do when your plans don’t pan out? I don’t know. Just recently a retreat that I had been planning to attend for the past four months and been working towards was canceled. I feel disappointed. I’ve put a great deal of energy to preparing for this and I feel let down. My initial reaction is to ask the question “Why…?”, but I’m learning that this is not a very productive question. A better question to ask is “What…?”.

I’m focusing on my belief that this cancellation is for the best and that the universe knows what I need (even if what I need is not what I want). There is an alternate plan for the time slot that I’ve scheduled for this and I’m looking forward to see what this brings.

However I’m still left disappointed and wondering what this disappointment is about. (There is my question) After all, what have I really lost? Nothing, because I never actually had anything to lose. At least not that I’m aware of.

What have I gained? Well, potentially a very different experience than what I had planned, but not the less an experience. At the very least I’ve gained an experience where I get to look at this issue surrounding plans not working out the way I had intended and I’ve been given the gift to wonder and change up my ‘Vibration’ from disappointment renewed interest.

Walk in peace,
