Sometimes I get to the airport with not a minute to spare and I’m anxious waiting in line for security hoping I don’t miss my flight.
Other times I get there two hours early and I’m waiting for what feels like forever to board.
Sometimes I try to plan things out too perfectly and I forget to leave margins for where something could go wrong.
Then one thing goes awry that I didn’t plan for and the whole thing breaks.
It’s important to leave yourself slack. And what’s more, it’s important to enjoy the slack when you have it.
When everything goes as planned, you have to be patient while you wait for the slack to let out. It helps to remind yourself that you would have been thankful if you needed it.
