How have you planned your life?

i believe life happens according to God's plan...at least for those who believe that there is a God who has designed everything that's in it...we do make plans... i did a few years back..some of those did happen...others have not come to reality yet...nonetheless, i believe that if it is according to God's will it will happen whenever and however He wants it. there is something called "permissive will" though..Anyone remembers the story of Jonah who was sent by God to warn the city of Nineveh of the consequence of the people's transgressions. God allowed Jonah to be swallowed up by a whale when on his way to Nineveh he decided he would not continue on his journey. In the end, God's will prevailed when Jonah realized his mistake and repented. In the end, he brought the Ninevites to repentance as well. In the same way, God allows us to plan and realize these plans (as long as they are "again" according to His will). There might be diversions, humps, u-turns, shortcuts, or whatever you'd want to call it, still the journey will lead us to God's perfect will.

Unfortunately not, there is nothing in my plans happened the time I want them to happen. It is so sad that I am suck when it comes to planning. I am not good in planning. Because I just notice it that if I am going to planned it, it will not happen it will happen the opposite thing. Others would say that I am sabotage my own plan. So better yet not to plan and come what may. That is what I am doing now come what may.

I think the trick is to enjoy the ride. Do not wait for it to make it happen. Act on it. As it is often said. "Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans." In my case, I did not make plans about getting married. I think it is happening because I am still single. Hahaha! I planned my working from home a few years ago and it is happening now. True. Life has his own time.

NOt actually, many times it happens that when I planned to go somewhere I could n't go at that time,but yes after sometime I got the chance....I planned to go abroad after marriage but not yet happened.While,I got married in 2006 but I know that one day I definitely go to abroad .So now ,it becomes my wish more than to planning.

I think many people have grandiose plans and many of those who succeed in realizing their plans with the current, but also many who fail to fulfill their dreams. I have plans to marry at age 25, but until now had 30 years of age are not married. But God gave me a trial, where I lost all that I have and until now I could not get up. I've been trying with utmost to try to get up, but have not succeeded. Finally I surrender to God. Surely by trying and praying that all dreams can come true.

i thought i got it all figured out, i even had a five year plan. but as i got older i realized that you have no control over many things that are thrown your way.

Hi Aileen, I actually have never been a big fan of plans. I planned on moving out of my parents as soon as I graduated highschool and being independent one way or another. That was my biggest life plan and I did it. I took the long scenic route but I have no complaints. Life has been interesting for sure. I'm sure if I planned things out better and did all that everyone said I "should" do, I'd have had an easier less bumpy ride but I'm not so sure it would have been as fun and interesting. Planning leads to expectations which lead to disappointments.

Hello Aileen I would like to say i am admire you.Cuase i am really bad at plan my life Most of time i tell myself i need a competely plan and i will exactly according to it.and i work hard,spent less but eventually,My paln didnt work out.Things going to be where it was.I disappointed.But i still like to plan everything.Even it maybe wont work out.Anyhow i hope you can achieving your plan early good luck!

I found things just don't "happen". You have to make them happen. What plans have you put in place to get a car or house? I found the harder I work, the luckier I become.

When i was young i had so much plan about my life. but,it doesn't happen as i wanted it to be. It is good to plan for future references,and it is not bad to plan either. Having dreams,and plan for tomorrow is a good thing. And,to achieve what we have plan needs a lot of patience,hardships/hardwork to make it happen. There are things in life that we never plan,but happens beyond our control.

I like the saying "Life has its own time." I want to make plan in my life ,such as getting married and has baby before 30 and it's better that I can travel abroad before 40.If we planned ,then it can make us work hard for it but at the same time it may give us much pressure . So just keep your plan in your mind and work hard . Wish your plans can come ture as early as possible!

yeah, I always make planned in my life,but to my suprise,the true disrupt my plans. I think have a plan just catch a hope,so I will make plan anyway.
