Things happen for a reason, indeed! The place for the 3 days music fest was first set for Woodstock… then Wallkill … then Bethel where Yasgur’s Farm is located. And the fest unfolded in a beautiful way — Yasgur’s Farm was perfect!
Things emerge along the way; however good a plan is, emergent things could render a plan useless. Plans are useless … but planning is essential.
This ‘plan changes’ is a regular phenomenon after a PI Planning event… we can plan all day long but something emerges after the PI Planning event; plan then becomes useless … but the PI planning event was essential… PI Objectives — the north star or the promises or the goals — were written.
No one can see everything. Every step forward reveals something new; something emerges beyond intentional design.
Therefore, responding to change rather than following a plan is the way to go… ‘zig-zag’ your way to the ‘goal’…
And things happen for a reason… have faith and do something — a step — towards the goal!
Have faith that it will unfold in a beautiful way … just like the Woodstock 3 days music fest of summer of ‘69.
