One of the strategies for growth and achievement that most people are not used to is planning. Planning will make your way plain and straight. It makes life predictable. It makes you locate your place; it makes you see obstacles and helps get you prepare to overcome them. It helps you move on in the journey of life without struggle. It helps you to be able to evaluate and recognize your level of progress. And so it encourages you to think of a better way for growth.
According to the scripture we read today, God expects everyone to take the responsibility of planning their affairs in life. No one builds a house without a plan, except for a weak house that may not be good. Effective planning shows you step-by-step progress to your destination. A good plan starts from where you are, and is capable of showing you how you can climb bit by gradually to get to the top. A good plan must be easily understood and must be in stages.
Friend, find time to think and put some things together. Thinking of starting something from where you are and not from where you are not. There is no height you cannot get to with good planning. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. Don’t just live anyway. Someone said, it is what one doesn’t plan for that will destroy one’s plan. Don’t just keep looking at life driving you on, anyhow. Be determined to succeed, and it must start with a good plan. He who fails to plan is simply planning to fail. Sit down now and plan forward that achievement you desire. And gradually you will be there.
PRAYER: LORD, MAKE MY PLANS SUCCESSFUL.
“LIFE IS NOT DESIGNED FOR STRUGGLE; PLANNING IS THE SOLUTION”
