Are your current choices part of a real 5- to 10-year plan?

Are the things you are doing now and are planning to do , patt of an actual plan for the future?

I don't really have a plan like that. My mental health limits my capacity for being productive and it also makes it hard to judge how much I'll be able to do. Like right now I'm in a relationship since September and I'm processing a lot of stuff, it has given me a new perspective on my parents and how I was raised, I'm overcoming obstacles in intimacy and sexuality to be more free and relaxed and in the moment. There's a lot of stuff going on. I've been in a relationship before but I was still held back mentally a lot this is the first one where I've fully jumped in and that's why it's quite challenging but also very rewarding. But 6 months ago I didn't know this would happen so my plans looked different back then.

I am always moving forward and working on something but as I said my capacity is limited and can easily be filled up all the way by just one thing like this relationship and also it's hard to predict what will come up or what I'll be capable of in the future. Sometimes I had phases where I could do quite a lot be very active with exercising cook healthy meals often, take care of everything around the apartment and socialize as well but then other times just cleaning the apartment is a big achievement because I'm so exhausted from mental stuff that's going on. I have like a basic structure where I go to this art studio which I love and then I have a bunch of other things I do around that and then I kind of adjust my life based on how much I can do at that time.

God no. I rarely plan more than a month in advance.

In truth, most people do not make a plan to secure the freedom to choose their own path—and that is our greatest mistake. Speaking for myself, I am currently living the life I dreamed of about five years ago; though, admittedly, things did not unfold exactly as I had envisioned. There were some setbacks, yet everything is still progressing just as it should.

I think you're right. Most people bumble along through life without a plan. The ones who do I think, are generally the successful, self made types who are surrounded by positive supporters and guides.

I really do not have a plan for anything.

I have ideas for things but no strategy to get anywhere.
