Planning Opportunities

An Oxymoron

Sticking to a plan costs opportunities. If we want to imagine new possibilities, especially developmental ones (in a way that changes the shape of our thinking), we cannot stick to the path we’re on.

Developmental work, which puts language on intuition, operates within the same terrain, our planet (/career and intuition), but fundamentally changes our existence within it.

It is unsatisfying that we cannot describe it before it happens, so the planning mind will necessarily face off with the developing one.
