Today's meditation is about always having a direction. When I first read today's meditation, my first reaction was having a everything planned ahead of time seems contrary to the principles of Stoicism. I mean, always planning for everything is not necessarily living the life we want to if we learn a certain path is not for us.
After re-reading the meditation, I realized that was not the message. The message was to have a goal. Period. Having a goal keeps us moving towards something. That does not mean our goal(s) cannot change. Having a goal and working towards something gives a direction or starting point. Working towards our goal gives us the opportunity to gain knowledge, action on that knowledge, and accept that not everything is within our control. There is never a need to feel lost or without direction.
