I already have the ability to predict the future. Where I often fall short is the ability to predict it correctly.
So I just muddle along by being as prepared as I can be (or want to be in some cases) and be entirely certain that what I predicted is very likely wrong. It more or less works for me...
Muddling along is what we all do I think, even though some people think they have it all worked out. No matter what a person hopes, thinks, wants, or wishes for life will generally have different ideas. So, muddle along, aim things in the right general direction and thinks will sometimes work out.
