I get a lot of talk from friends and family that I am too happy go lucky and that I don't plan or take charge of my future enough. But the truth is that I prefer not to worry too much about something that is not within my immediate 3 to 6 month future. I also like that Tolkien quote because to me it means that I can sometimes play a passive passenger role in my life but still head in an intended direction.
