Now, if I could only stay mindfully consistent in knowing, trusting, and living the truth that "there are no perfect plans."

I'll look out for the book. I think the world is now too fast-paced for us to continue to place so much emphasis on theory and knowing before we start living and doing. The most successful in this era are those who prioritise action and real-world feedback over perfect plans and research on paper. Cath Great quote. I’ll look out for the book.

For me, at least, that has offered a different and insightful perspective into his first world.
