Sometimes I plan for things in the future. Sometimes it work and sometimes it does not. Do you plan things in your life? What is your next plan?

I try to plan ahead. If you fail to prepare, you're preparing to fail. I sacrifice the things I know I could probably live without right now, and try to set myself up for the long term. It's difficult at times, but it's all about perspective.
If you perspective is on short term goals only, you'll struggle latter on down the line. I've seen what happens to people when they don't think ahead. It's not good, not good at all.

I think it is best to plan on short-term goals and also to long-term goals and to draw plans to reach the goals. It is good to plan life, but not plan and to walk fully through the plan. Sometimes it is good take life as it came and also to plan somethings.

Hi Ajith,
I had a great plan in my life. To be doctor. To fulfil that plan was not an easy task and the future always seemed to be a riddle.
However I was happy when I qualified the medical entrace and got a seat. Now my future plan is to be a good doctor who can make his patients contented and happy.
My motto in life is 'Whether it works or not- if you have a dream, strive for it with all the energy that you can generate!'
I am happy to share my views with you!
Happy mylotting.
Regards,
-Ajith(that's my name).

Hello ajithlal,
I used to plan when I was in my teens and 20's. Not so much anymore. I am now in my 40's. I found over the years the more I plan the more it did not happen. I was would upset took me a while to get over it especially if it was a day trip or something I wanted to buy....now with less planning and more just winging it... it has been working out better for me... It usually makes me happeri and I have no preconceived connotations on how it will work out. If it happens that is ok and if not that is ok too. I am less disappointed and more happier over all and I do not feel like I am missing something etc...
Thanks and have a great day!
Sincerely Unique16

I plan very loosely. Like, I have decided that I want to have children at some point in the future, but I have not made any more detailed plans than that. So I guess you could say that I plan a bit, but not very much. This works for me!
