Solitaire at the sea.

After fishing in the ocean for the day, the Egret wanted some alone time at the fresh river water inlet.

The new Spring season is almost here and the two feathers behind his head mean that he is preparing to find a mate. So, he stood here to meditate in the peace and silence.

How many times do we make our own plans in life and then real life happens?
According to my experience, no human plan is foolproof as there is always something that interferes unexpectedly to make our plans go awry.
I know of plans that cost billions and upon execution they fail miserably due to one or another fault. Think here of what it costs to build a huge rocket and upon the launch it explodes. A total and expensive failure.
There are also many other ways that our plans can fail and over here it bears the nickname of a "White Elephant". There are white elephants all across the world bearing testimony to man's gigantic failures.
So Let me show you how the egret's plan to meditate was spoiled.

At first, a bird came over and it disturbed the egret's thoughts.

Then another bird came over.

All of a sudden, there were two other birds, and if you look carefully at the egret's face in-between the two birds, he doesn't look very happy.

But, oh no, some more birds appeared!

Wow! You can see at the back that the egret was leaving, as his intended meditation session was abruptly ended by the crowd.

Just another day at the ocean.

I hope that I have given you a good example here of how our plans can be foiled, as I bet that that egret thought that a crowd would arrive. Just so it is with the plans that we make. At times we can spend much time on researching and designing the most excellent plan, only to launch the plan and to become a laughing stock. If you don't know it by now, people always find delight when they see someone else's plan tanking.
I think here of a guy that bought a successful crypto community with a plan to enrich himself. The fault was that the community walked away and his plan failed miserably.
Just so it is in our own lives, just be careful of the plans that you make and always allow that little thing that we call miscellaneous to form a part of that plan.
Like I said, I have experience in failed plans, but thankfully I have learned how to laugh at myself.

And That's All Friends.

Cannot plan too far ahead of late, much happens in a short space of time, as the Egret found out.

Well, you win or you learn. Nothing wrong with learning!

So, plan boldly knowing we can handle whatever laughing stock we become.

Hahaha, I am one of those that have to bur my fingers at least five times before I would learn.
But luckily I do learn eventually.

Always good to plan boldly and then to allow the outcomes to take care of themselves.
