Planning = Love

I take this from a posting made in September;

"People who plan and stick to the plan often are not doing it for themselves, they are doing it because they also have an in-grained sense of contribution, in other words they have love. When you plan, you are naturally making a commitment, when you commit to creating an existence that gives, an existence that does not labor others you are demonstrating your love.

That does not mean that if a plan doesn't work, that you do not love, often a failed plan will teach you more about love than many successful ones will. To understand this you may need a bit of experience at it.

Please take time to think of your commitment to your friends, family and the group life experience and please plan. We write plans because we believe that planning leads to peace and prosperity."

I was incredibly struck by the preparation and planning that was taking place prior to the devastation wreaked by Sandy. Watching the lead up to the storm with all the various organisations preparing shelters, packages and beds I was pleasantly reminded of how many great people there are out there. There are many people who really do love, and perhaps the USA is fortunate enough to have many people who do love in positions of relative power.

Well done to all the volunteers and all the people involved in the planning of the prevention of harm and the clean-up afterwards. Planners are Lovers.

Have a great week!

Love
