It’s useful to anticipate leading the kind of life you want. Just don’t get so caught up in expecting the details to show up in the way you envision that you become disheartened by the slightest deviation. Skillful and successful living isn’t necessarily the result of always getting what you want. Sometimes life will deliver what you ordered. Sometimes it gives you what you need. Happiness and well being come from clarifying your desires, pursuing them with persistence and then accepting whatever shows up…

With love and gratitude.
