Best Laid Plans

Someone once said, ~In life, love is never planned, it does happen for a reason, but when the love is real it becomes you plan for life and your reason for living.~ There are many areas in life that we all make plans for either socially and/or professionally, but the one area that tends to not to be planned is in our personal lives and that is in the area of love. When it comes to love, its unexpected, unplanned to the point it's considered life altering and changes not only your attitude, but also your whole outlook on life. Nobody ever plans to fall in love and yet it happens without warning and whether or not it's true love...well you just have to find out for yourself.

Without a doubt, when you don't plan on falling in love with someone it gives you a sense of determination and/or purpose in life. It's that thing called love that throws one's intended plans, whether it's professionally or personally, all out whack that one tends to question the timing of it all, which is a mistake to do. You just have to go with the flow, so to speak and inevitably the questions you always wanted to know about love are answered. Although, you don't get all the answers right away, which nobody ever really does, they gradually come through time as you figure them out either the hard way or the easy way.

As said before, nobody ever plans to fall in live it just happens and the same can be said for falling out of love as well. It can truly be a tough situation indeed for two people to no longer feel the love shared in their relationship. A relationship that was at one time built on trust, honesty, and communication. For emotions such as humiliation, frustration, confusion, anger, resentment, bitterness, denial, and acceptance are just some of what a person may go through when falling out of love. A person can absolutely feel defeated and if or when it happens more than once it can be a miserable experience to where you feel all hope is lost at ever having true happiness.

Let me ask you this question, are you the type of person who generally has everything planned out when it comes to potentially meeting the right person? Women, more so than guys, tend to have a set plan from the time their young in which they aim high for as they try to have all their i's dotted and all their t's crossed in hopes that their goals within one's plans come true. Meeting the right guy, falling in love with him, getting married, having kids, the proverbial white picket fence house, a successful career, is the basic diagram that each and every woman wants for herself, but it doesn't necessarily mean some, most, or all of it will come to fruition.

Former Beatle John Lennon once said, ~Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.~ In retrospect, life has a funny way of showing you that a person just has to stop making plans, continue living, and let God take control of your lovelife as He has someone planned for you and me. Don't be too concerned with the plans you have such as meeting and falling in love with someone because you'll miss out on something much more special...life itself. Sometimes, the best laid plans are those that you don't prepare for as it's left in God's capable hands because in the end, when you do finally meet that special someone He will say with a smile on His face I love it when a plan comes together.
