Why should I start planning?

 


Every bit you use in life is very important, and every new year is a continuation of the previous year and the next phase of your journey. We can't arrive at our destination without taking each step; that's why planning is very important. Planning is the same as a map that gives directions to navigate. We can see clearly on the map the route to take, and sometimes we might have to take other routes due to life circumstances.

Here are 4 reasons you should start planning ahead.

1. It makes fulfilment easy: Let's use a story of two delivery men who were given a task to make a delivery to another city. Man A was provided with everything needed to make the delivery a success, I mean in terms of address, contact details of the customer, a step-by-step guide, and an alternate route list, but Man B was only provided with the customer's name and house number without a street name. In a case where there is nothing that will cause disruption, Man A will get the package delivered faster and more perfectly than Man B, only if Man A takes action to get the package delivered. This is exactly what planning does; it makes what you do easy because you already have a map to guide you.

2. It makes you know what to do: Many people complain about not knowing what to do; the reason is because they don't have a plan. When you have a plan, it presents the action you should take to progress forward and fulfil your goals, ambitions, and purpose. A plan does not work, but it will show the work you are to do. It eradicates the excuse for not taking action.

3. Clarity: When you look at a plan, you always see the picture of what you want to achieve. It makes you cross the T's and dot the I's and complete the puzzle. Every plan is meant to present your purpose to you; it is meant to show what the year should look like. It is meant to be in your imagination, and to be honest, your plan will do this to you.

4. It serves as a reminder that you shouldn't be idle: Most times when I look at my plan, it speaks to me that I should take action; it always tells me to do something. Plans will always haunt you to take action unless you are the lazy type; that's when you won't take action.

In conclusion,

Your plan is what serves as a map, reminder, motivation, and a picture to fulfil your purpose. This is one of the secrets of great people, because their plans remind them of what is at stake and their current location when they check the map, which is their plan.

Why Faith

  Why Faith? All things are possible unto him that believes. Most of what you see is a result of someone’s belief. Faith is a creative power that produces what we cannot see with our ordinary eyes into reality and makes us see them clearly in the physical. You can’t see goals, dreams, or supernatural things come into reality with your eyes except they are manifested by faith into reality. Faith is a superpower you must possess because you will only have visions, goals, dreams, and wishes without it. What Can Faith Do? Faith makes anything possible. It brings hope into reality: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Why You Should Have Faith “But let him ask in faith, not wavering, for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” When we don’t do things in faith, we are just like waves that do not have a constant direction. Without faith, we become futile. Faith is the only difference between the spiritual ...

Time: The Misery of a Man

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all."  Time is one of the things we are subjected to as humans. Time is a period; it has a beginning and an end. We cannot control time, but we can redeem or acquire time. If we cannot control time, then we redeem or acquire it by our actions. No one can stop time, but we can decide what to do with it. Now back to the first paragraph of this article. The first paragraph shared a powerful wisdom: “Time and chance happen to them all.” If we go along with the statement without looking deep into the whole context, we will probably think it is by luck or probably think, “When it is my time, everything will work out.” Thinki...
