I don't think that's an 'other' meaning as much as a natural extension. It's not about planning or not planning. It's not about being a master of your own journey.

It's about being able to identify what you can and what you cannot control, focusing on the can control and just letting the rest occur. This is something I struggle with.

I see things, constantly, that are just rage inducing in terms of how stupid they are and how the problems they cause impact my life negatively. And I can't do anything about them. Yet I still spend time being negative, anxious, or otherwise focusing on them. It doesn't help, the problems still happen, and I spent time ruminating about them.

This reminds me my father when I mentioned bad news he always referred to a saying; no need to worry, things you can't control you can do nothing about them, and why worry about things you can control.

I think the frustration often arise when we create the illusion of control and unexpected events shatter that idea, bringing ourselves in denial.

A good measure is to keep a buffer for unexpected events and prepare yourself sentimentally.
