When you plan something in your life, do you prepare the plan B?

People always call this alternative plan as the Plan B. And it refer to replace the plan A that doesn't work. So in your life do you always prepare the plan B for the worst scenario, or plan B just suddenly come up after your original plan blew up. Have you ever think that what we call plan B is actually God's plan in your life?

hello Ibuemma, I have actually even tried plan C but it always ends up in failure. am just lucky enough to be alive knowing that the storm didn't hit our house and didn't have to stay on roof because of deadly flood heading towards the house. for now, i am alive hoping to know the plans that god gave to me.

Hey, Well I don't really prepare the plan B, I usually never actually need to prepare for plan B, because plan A most of the time goes to plan. But if plan A wouldn't really work out, I would probably not know what to actually do. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Yes, I always have alternatives in case something unexpected comes up or, in the case of big storms heading for Florida, I have several plans which the strength of the storm will dictate. I don't believe that plan B is God's plan. God gave us free will and with that comes the abilitly to devise plan A, plan B and beyond for ourselves.

I never do this, shamefully enough! I usually make a super-great plan A and try like heck to accomplish it, I do all that I can and cross my fingers on the rest! I would definitely say that Plan B is God's "plan" for US, that totally makes sense. Because what we initially plan isn't always what we end up doing; plans break - plans change, and life doesn't always go according to how we think it will. It's all about the unexpected things and how we deal with them that counts! I recently had this Plan A/B disaster strike me pretty badly. I put all of my time and effort into planning on getting into an out-of-state college, and it turned out at the end, my loan was unexpectedly denied and I couldn't go. I found out about a month before school began; not enough time to really try to get into another school or change plans and whatnot. I've noticed that having a back-up plan for college and going to school is really difficult, though, because you can actually only accept admission to ONE school at a time; you can't register for both schools and then drop out if your first choice doesn't let you in for some reason or if finances go awry, like in my situation. What I usually do, is take some time after Plan A is rejected by the higher powers (lol), and really THINK of what I can do in such a situation to rectify things or at least keep myself busy for the time being. So my back-up plan was to continue working at my current part time job and get another part time job (at Macy's) to save up for school next semester. So far my plan is working, but as we all know, plans tend to change. So I guess we'll see!

I do prepare for plan B and C, just in case of emergency. But I have to look very well that my plan A is perfect. But of course, we don't know what will really happen next. We have to look into many considerations.

I always do that - I always have a plan B in case plan A doesn't work out for me. I prepare a plan B always because I don't like getting caught off guard. Also, I don't like the feeling of being lost and having to think of a plan right then and there if my plan A has (for some reason) not worked out as I'd planned. I don't know if plan B is God's plan, but I do rely on plan B quite often in my life!!
