RESULTS OF PRACTICE DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS
The results of practice depend on many factors
Question
Is it best to have very special aims and objectives, planning out our development stage by stage? Or is it better just to enjoy our practice and have fun letting oneself develop in a spontaneous and carefree way, trusting that the cosmos will take us where is best for us over time? Is one approach better than the other depending on the personality and needs of the individual student?

Answer
Which approach is better depends on the personality and needs of the individual student as well as on other factors.
For example, if the student is misinformed, it is better to plan his development stage by stage. If the student is well informed, it is better to let the Cosmos take him where he will.
If the student needs to overcome a so-called incurable disease, it is better to plan his development. If he is healthy and practices chi kung for fun, it is better to let the Cosmos take him where he will.
If the teacher of the student is mediocre, it is better for the student to plan the development. If the teacher is good, it is better for the student to have fun.
