Sun rays take 8.3 minutes to reach the Earth; You can't make them go faster or slower.

Sometimes you just have to forget about it, 

Forget the conniving, strategizing, and list of short-term/long-term goals, 

Not everything in life can be planned. 

You can plan your day, 

But it won't ever end up a carbon copy of your task-list. 

Things will pop up, things will seize to exist, other stuff will be out of supply or demand, 

Depending on your luck. 

You'll experience agitation, excitement, happiness, and deceit. 

You'll stumble upon things you never knew existed, 

Maybe get your break in an unexpected way, 

Or fail foolishly at every step you take. 

But one thing's for sure, 

Not everything can be planned.

Don't draw up a map, 

You are bound to stray. 

Go with your gut instinct sometimes, 

And just wait.

You can't hold a ray of sunshine in your hand, 

nor go after endless beams. 

It just happens naturally,

Sometimes with not an ounce of sweat or effort, 

Unexpected that is, 

Drawn on your face; 

A "beam."

To a life of endless surprising unplanned smiles,
