How much of life is planned or chance?

Do some plans lead to chance? Do you think making one change in your life redirects the course with certain situations that occur?

I choose the direction I want to go in life, then I make that happen.

I don't really contemplate much if it's chance that gives me these opportunities or if it is me that paves my way, but the most important thing is that I take control of my life rather then me leaving it to the wind.

Sometimes unexpected things happen, but I take that and turn it into something good. So if it's chance or not, I still take control of my steering wheel in life and use those opportunities to explore different options and paths.

We plan what we can...some more or less so than others....chance is still there. that is why when we plan we have to give lebensraum for the chance factors beyond our control.

There's something in The Watchmen about 'time being kept without a keeper', which is this allusion to the idea that a deity would have the ability to create, but maybe it's a clock that he/she/it no longer watches. It's somewhat strange to think of the entropy that assimilated into that thought, or the natural existential horror.

Maybe, in a strange, very strange light, this ends best with an H.P. Lovecraft quote -

"That is not dead which can eternal lie/And with strange aeons even death may die."

So, I bite on the edifice of chaos, without going over its edge. It beats madness or Keno.

I believe we make our own path but chance and circumstance are still applied, at least in my life.

All of life is planned upon chance. IMO.

If we plan on taking advantage of all the chances we get then chances are our plans will be met with unlimited options that can determine the direction our lives take based on which course we choose. :tongue:

If we don't like the way any particular choice we've made is working for or against us changing our minds and our actions will of course change the trajectory and outcome of any given situation. smokin
