Listen to the Universe

• Lily: Okay, I'm just going to ask this. Do you really want to come back for this?
• Ted: What's that supposed to mean?
• Lily: Architecture is killing you, Ted. And it's killing us to watch it killing you. You're like that goat with the washcloth. You want it so bad, and every time the world tries to take it away from you, you keep grabbing it. But you know what? It's just a washcloth, why do you even want it?
• Ted: Because I have to be an architect. That's... That's the plan.
• Lily: Screw the plan. I planned on being a famous artist. Marshall planned on being an environmental lawyer. Barney planned on being a violinist.
• Barney: Lily!
• Lily: You can't design your life like a building. It doesn't work that way. You just have to live it, and it will design itself.
• Ted: So what, I should just do nothing?
• Lily: Listen to what the world is telling you to do and take the leap.
• Future Ted: That was the year I got left at the altar. It was the year I got knocked out by a crazy bartender. The year I got fired. And damn it if it wasn't a best year of my life. Because, if any one of those things hadn't happened, I never would have ended up and turned out to be the best job I ever had. But more importantly, I wouldn't have met your mother.
