yeah, I agree with you. I think that someone should be able to plan their life overall, but also be good at going with the flow and trust their gut feeling when it's the time to

I go with both.
Have a direction, but stay flexible, too much planning = rigid, too much flow = lost.

"This is going to be a very good year"

So much for a planned life ayyy? : D
Nah, we all just make plans because that is what we all do to make ourselves feel good and have a sense of direction in life which is good, but really "LIFE" itself... we all just have to go with the flow whether we like it or not

First we need to identify which things are in our control and which things not .
Things which are in our control like (reactions , discipline , routine) we must control it .
& things which are not in our control like (accidents , bad days) we should go with the flow and time do its magic .

Planning is very important for all kinds of things, but you shouldn’t worry about what is not in your hands.
Sometimes, life gives surprises. They may be good or bad. Don’t worry about that live with a happy mind.

Going with the flow without having a plan is really good, because not all doors have the same key. Chill

Yes, I agree with you, I also prefer to have plan, but sometimes changes cannot catch the plan, so go with flow, and it will be funny

I’d say a planned life is better. Going with the flow feels comfortable in the moment, but later you may regret your life choices. (because I've been there

Planning never helped. Life throws a lot of surprises. Being prepared helps, but overthinking, planning your every single move is of no use.

I would like to plan my life for a better future but of course it's LIFE, not my novel's script so if anything happens against your will, then go with the flow

Whatever you do ... whether your plans are general or detailed ...
WRITE DOWN YOUR PLAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIST EVERY GOAL IN DETAIL.
Then pray.....
Then log it when the item is complete
Without a log or journal, nothing gets done, it's all "pie in the sky"
"Failure to plan is actually planning to fail"
If you are talking about business and making money, then read books by the
experts and set your goal.s
