Schedules are important to keep the world organized.  Schedules are also good for you to keep your day on track.  Without a start time for your work or school day, it might be difficult for you to pull yourself out of bed.   Without an end time, it could be difficult for you to break away from you work to go back home.

However, too much scheduling can lead to a lack of spontaneity.  Your inner-self often communicates with you through spontaneity.   The random phone call from a friend having a last-minute ticket to an event, or the spontaneous desire to do something outside on a nice day, can open up your world to exploration.

Spontaneity promotes exploration!   Scheduling promotes control.  When you attempt to control every aspect of your life, you are leaving yourself open to disappointment.  By now, you should realize that control is futile.  We understand the need for setting beacons, planning your next step in the general directions of those beacons and then letting go.   Control, is attempting to plan and define not only the next step, but almost every step to the beacon!

Today, try something that maybe new for you.  Resist the need to “over-schedule” yourself.   Leave some time open in each of your days to allow for last-minute choices.  Give yourself some “down time” to allow for a time for quiet inner-self reflection.  Let go of the need to control.

Over-scheduling yourself leads to an attempt to control your life.  However, tempting it may be, control leads to disappointment.  Open yourself up to spontaneity and watch your inner-self guide you, and the universe respond to you!
