If the water is agitated you can't see yourself clearly.
The same goes with your thoughts.
In order to think clearly, your mind must be still, or at rest.
If your mind is disturbed, you will not think clearly.
What causes the disturbances? Many things, such as: - Expectations - Emotions - Pride - Ignorance and so forth...
I want to focus in expectations in this article.
The problem with expectations is that they may be fulfilled or may not, not only that, they blind you to other opportunities happening right in your face.
If you expect to achieve "success" by going in path X, you will be so focused in this path you will not see that the path Y is better, easier and faster than the path X.
You cannot control anything but yourself.
So why create goals and plans if they can be easily crushed by the unknown?
It is better to surf in the wave of the unknown, rather than swim against it.
Not only that, what you want constantly changes.
I don't know what I will want in 5 minutes, imagine trying to guess what I will want in years.
I may be wrong in what I am saying, but I tried to swim against the unknown and I perished, therefore it's time to fully embrace the unknown, to fully embrace the chaos and see what happens.
