I agree with that for business plans, but life plans, am I wrong to let life take me wherever and hope that it makes me happy ???

You could read that as meaning that you let yourself drift because you have not yet realised what makes you happy - ergo you are in the hope that happiness will stumble it's way to you....

The question then must be - are you happy right now?

You came to the BE forum and it made you happy???:p

Disingenuity aside - if you were to formulate a "life plan", what kinds of things would you like to achieve?

Nay P2P drift upon lifes breezes until you find what you're looking for. Stop, check it out. If it's for you then you've found it, if not get back into the breeze you'll find it eventually.....:)
