My advice to you: live in the moment. Stay fluid and roll with those changes. Life is just a big extended improvisation. Embrace the ever changing, ever evolving world with the best rule I’ve ever found. Say 'YES AND.”

Don’t deprive yourself of the exciting journey your life can be when you relinquish the need to have goals and a blueprint.
