the purpose driven life

Still trying to decide how to write a bestseller. Been sidelined by home renovations, a waterpipe bursting and the stomach flu.

Hubby and I had a discussion last night whether it's better to live a purpose driven life (my theory), or just float along and be open to opportunities, but not go out of your way to swim against the current (his theory).

To my mind, if you don't know where you're going, you'll end up where everyone else wants you to be. And, pray tell, how am I going to end up on the bestseller list without making a plan and working it? Does anybody just ever floats there? Do olympic athletes float to the top of the podium? I think not!

On the other hand, life could be sure less stressful if I wasn't so dang goal oriented. So maybe I will give this floating and open thing a try.

So, UNIVERSE, here is my notice. As of now, I'm open to wonderful opportunites! I'm giving up all my goals for a month and will keep an eye open for the unexpected :-)

What's your life theory?
