Screw Your Bucket List

I’m a planner.

I get anxious if I don’t know the outcome.

If there’s a problem and no solution, I scramble to find one.

But as much as I love knocking items off my bucket list, my favorite moments are never planned.

The missed flight, the hundredth rejection, the side door that isn’t supposed to be open.

Each one throwing me into an unforgettable adventure.

These are secret treasures.

The more of them you allow, the more your life expands.

All you have to do is let control take a back seat to curiosity.

Instead of resisting the wrong turn, welcome it.

Invite it in.

It’s serendipity.

The universe.

Infinitely more intelligent than any bucket list.

Begging for you to let it reveal its magic.

Love,

Dhruv.
