COT:
“What is the key to living such a happy life? You don’t need to follow a blueprint, you just need to live and be happy.”

There is an ultimate plan for everyone out there, but not a single blueprint (or path) that must be followed. Your path is impacted by choices you make, choices others make and by things outside of anyone’s control. So the key to enjoying today is not to put yourself down about yesterday or tomorrow.
