Reader Be Warned: My Opinion is NOT the "norm"

I try to plan my life by making short term, intermediate and long term goals. Then I develop a plan to achieve those goals. But, not everything goes as planned. There is only so much that is in our control, even for those of us who like to control all aspects of our life.
Last October, I planned for 2018 to be the year that I accomplish some major goals. In particular, I planned to be complete with my dissertation and to have my doctorate degree conferred. Well, in late October 2017, I tossed out of of my research and writing I had completed and proposed to complete an entirely new research study. So back to the "drawing board". The new study was more aligned with my position, at that time. I planned to remain in that position (which I started August 2017) for at least three years before I search for another position, although the hiring manager stated (during the offer) she knew I would leave in a year. She was adamant that I was way to advanced for the position in which I applied and I accepted, but she wanted me on her team anyway. She wanted someone STRONG who would help give the team the boost they needed. Clearly, she had plans for me that I did not foresee. Well, she was correct, I stayed in that position for 1 year and transitioned into a new position August 2018. Last October, I did not plan to change positions so fast, but the change was very much needed. I also did not plan to be married this year. BUT, I am married...and I am glad I married the man who best fits me. I married my best friend, my confidant, my protector and my biggest supporter. I did not plan a wedding ceremony, because I wanted to keep our vow exchange very intimate and private. And that it was! 4/4/18 The point of it all: In life, not everything will go as planned and not all GREAT things have to be planned.
