Don't plan your life away; enjoy the trees(:

So I will start off with the definition of planning. Planning is the process of setting goals , developing strategies, and outlining tasks and schedules to accomplish the goals: as it informs us within the Google search.(;
Though it is both important and necessary to have a reasonably organized lifestyle, in my opinion people become too caught up in planning out their whole lives, that they don't truly get to enjoy their time. Life is indeed short, and deserving of an equal amount of planned days and spontaneous days.
This topic reminds me of a poem that portrays a message of simple living without everyday planning, and with more realizing.


Forward Planning
Bright autumn leaves like butterflies
are gaily dancing in the breeze.
Until they fall; no more to rise
and coat the ground beneath the trees.
In carpets of rich autumn hues
Which will soon fade to neutral brown.
The time has come for trees to lose
their leaves and cast them down.
As they prepare for winters rule.
Returning to the earth again
their useless leaves to use a fuel.
Which when spring comes will help sustain.
The sudden burst of energy
that is required by every tree.
