I have plans for my future life, I have a vision, my vision is to become a successful businessman at the age of 30, I want to become financially free at the age of 35 and enjoy my life for the rest of my life with my family, that is my goal, so right now I am doing my best to change the wheel of my life, sometimes I fail, I love to fail because its part of success, a person cannot be successful without failing more and more.

Sometimes things happen for a reason. They may not be good things but the reason is good. We bought our home when I was 8 months pregnant with my second daughter. On two salaries we would have no problem raising our little family of four. However, I got sick and could not go back to work. We are struggling financially because I cannot work. I have not worked in almost 11 years. HOWEVER, I have been able to stay home and raise my girls. I am able to be here for them when they get home from school. For that I am grateful and so is my mother for that matter.
Sometimes stuff happens that we didn't plan for. But God has a plan and it is up to us to learn how to deal, to grow and to have faith in HIM. This illness is crappy, but the blessings resulting from it are many.
That does not mean we can't dream and make our dreams come true. Really, all along all I really wanted was to be a mother. But in today's world I wouldn't have been able to stay at home to raise them; I would have had to work. God made it so that my dream actually did come true. I HAD to stay home, and then I found the time to follow my other dream of becoming a published writer - something I was not doing as a working mother.
And that is why, behind every cloud there is a silver lining. You just have to open your eyes and look for it.

If we really plan then it happens. Sometimes our plans will not happen because our focus is very weak. We need to work hard. Determination is of great factor to become a successful whatever plans we have in life.

Yeah i agree with you. there is such things that you have planned and not followed or not happen. Like i was planning to finish my studies at the age of 21, to be married at the age of 25, i will have a baby at the age of 27, and i have many earnings or savings at that time. But then it did not happen I am married now, i just married at the age of 19, i had baby girl at the age of 20, i have no savings and most of all i didnt finish my studies.
