My answer is that I have no plans for my future life and I have no qualms admitting this. It is a lifes lesson that I have learned and that too the hard way. So, now I believe in living in the present moment and giving my best to it. Rest I leave to Him, lest it should lead to unnecessary stress. It has happened numerous times with me as well as many of my acquaintances that things did not turn out the way we had planned. Then one is bound to feel frustrated, hopeless and exasperated or at least dejected.
However, if we just continue discharging our duties to the best of our abilities, then at least we would not suffer from pangs of compunction even if events dont unfold as per our expectation. It is because we know that we had given our 100%. On the contrary, if we know or feel that had we put in more efforts, the outcome could have been different- then it hurts inordinately. Now, I try to take things in my stride as they come and do whatever I think would be the best in those circumstances. Given up planning for future! Dont ruminate about the past, dont worry about the future, live in the present moment and be happy. Yes! that is what I strive for- HAPPINESS!
