Followers of Tao use patterns when planning. They observe the ways of nature, perceive the invisible lines of destiny. They imagine a pattern for their entire lives, and in this way, they ensure overall success. Each day, they match interim patterns against their master goals, and so navigate life with sureness and grace.As an autistic individual, I certainly understand the use of patterns to navigate life. However, unlike Meng-Dao's suggestion, my patterns are very rigid, not interim! I tend to freak out if life deviates much from my general routine.
~ from 365 Tao: Daily Meditations, Entry 46 ~
Believe you me, I've tried to be more flexible in this area, but my brain chemistry simply doesn't allow it. So, in this case, my flow is far different than the cosmos. One can't fight their internal nature!
If some of you are more adept at utilizing interim patterns, I'd love to hear about it in the comments section.
I am learning myself about planning. I am very bad at following plans.I prefer to be free from time limitations, be open to things emerging.I do not know if it works,I will tell you may be some day.I am learning.I just try to do it as I said here.
