There are things in life where we got to be prepared for and plan to a certain extent. The plan has to be extremely flexible to say the very least. Otherwise we are going to find ourselves being caught completely off guard by a curveball. If life has taught me one thing, there are many things that can go wrong and often they are unexpected. So there needs to be a plan in life but don't be surprised if something happens that shakes it up.

This is so so true. People always think they have big plans in their life, like a 10 year plan or a 5 year plan. I think its good to have goals but to be honest life almost never works out the way you plan! So as you say, if you want to have a plan you have to make sure its flexible enough to encompass any unexpected changes that may occur!

The plan is rather nice agree. The longer the plan goes, and I'm sure some people will really have experienced this, the further and further that it can rather divert. So you need to really understand that a lot of things are going to need to be rather flexible so you can really divert your course. There have been many instances where careful planning has gone down the drain. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Flexibility is really something that is one of those intriguing elements in life. Adaption to everything in life, so it can change, so it can be adjusted, that is really just one of those things that is going to happen. I do agree that humanity in general has really going to thrive on the level of survival that we have. That is really what life does really boil down to. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

In the end, that is really the underlying factor about life. Those who go in with a plan are not going to not do all that well. On the contrary, those who stick to their plan a little too much, are also going to be in trouble in an entirely different way. It is just one of those things where you can't just swing too much in one direction, without getting really buried. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

I truly believe that you need to have flexibility in your life. you can't always have things the way that you want them to be. Being flexible keeps you on an even keel and makes those tough decisions so much easier to handle.@megamatt (14292)

Flexibility is something that is key. Even the most prepared person in the world, they are not going to predict every single thing that can go wrong. And many of the things that they might be able to account for, might not be the things that are going to go wrong. That is just one of those funny things about life turns out but they are really true. It really does put us at ease with making a lot more of those tough decisions. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Changes in life can be extremely sudden for certain. There are many times where we are going to go with what happens and adjust accordingly. For that way, we are going to really need to land on our feet and begin to thrive in this world. Some of these changes are quite unexpected and our life is really just bound to be shaken up in a number of different ways. We just have to do an about face and go with the flow and adjust to whatever changes life brings. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

So true.. We must be prepared for all the things that might come our way. Life is like traveling in a long winding road. You have no idea what will you meet along the way so you must be prepared for whatever that might happen. Also, we should not expect that much from someone or something in order to avoid a hug disappointment on our part. It may cause us so much pain and pain might become a hindrance for us to move on in life.

It does go without saying that we are going to get a bit loss and misdirected on that long and winding road that we do in fact call life. We need to try and be prepared for the unexpected and there are going to be many things that are going to be unexpected to say the very least. We are not going to know what we are going to deal with on this interesting path called like and there can be a lot of interesting points about life to say the very least. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

It is very true. If I was thinking like this when I was young I wouldn't got depressed and make life so miserable for others and me. Often plan things won't go planned as well but be flexible is the right attitude. Right discussion!

Very true and an important part of life. We must prepare for tomorrow but also realize that tomorrow is truly not promised. Plans in life are important so that we can work towards goals but at the same time also plan on some disappointments along the way. It is the disappointments that will shake us up. During the shakes one must then re-evaluate as to what can be done to be back on track and or accept that no changes can be done.

Yes, too many times everything lined up in my head and if worked as properly as it was lined up, everything would go great. Unfortunately, there are a number of ways where that is not going to be something that is assured. In fact there are many times where one could be rather surprised if something does go completely is planned. The plan is nice but if we are not prepared to turn around, things can turn a bit nasty. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.
