The beauty of life: why things may not work out as always planned
The beauty of life is that most times the things we plan for do not always come out as planned. Most times, the things we plan may also work out well. But whatever is the case, it is left for us to accept life the way it is.
As the popular saying goes, if you fail to plan, then you're planning to fail. As such, it is incumbent on us to plan, but not within our power to make it come out successful.
Whereas, because life has its way of making things happen outside our plans and schedules does not mean that we should not plan, rather, we should be strategic and realistic when mapping out our plans.
A few factors that may hinder our plans from manifesting
Most times there are things that stand as impediments against our plans from coming to fruition. Some of them are?
unrealistic plans
Some people who claimed that their plans did not work out may be as a result of making unrealistic plans. That is, plans that are not possible to achieve as a result of environmental and financial factors. Example is that it may be impossible for a man who just started a business with little income to plan on buying a house after a year. A lot of people do not put into consideration how achievable their plans could be within a specific period that planned to achieve the goal.
no effort put into achieving plans
This is one of the most pronounced issues with a lot of people who complain of failure to achieve goals. It is an anomaly to have plans and not have strategies to achieve those plans. One of the things that will bring plans to fruition is the ability to work out for it.
unavoidable circumstances
This is also a major setback as to why people's plans failed. Some circumstances are beyond the control of a person and that may hinder plans from fulfilling. Let's take an example whereby someone planned for a four-year course in the university, but later lost his sponsor to death. This and many more may hamper plans from manifestation.
why my five years plan did not work out
It's so unfortunate that my five year plan of getting established financially is yet to come to pass and this year will mark the end of the plan. After my service year in 2018, I planned on getting a better job and leaving a financially stable life. Although there has been a conscious effort to achieve this goal, some factors wouldn't let it work out, chiefly of such is socio-political factors that affect everything in my country. As a result of this, job opportunities were not forthcoming and everything else was crippled. A lot of people are passing through this. However, this does not mean that all hope is lost, rather, to look for a strategic way of achieving the plan though it might take a longer time.
On a final note, everyone plans but not all the plans will come out as planned. Whatever is the case, we should take it as the beauty of life.
