PLANNING REALISTICALLY

Typically, making plans and those plans not going in accordance with the planned schedule can be discouraging, and scary. It leaves the emotions unbalanced and in a disarray. These are just for normal plans that may or may not have an overall significant effect.

Now imagine having your new year resolutions, goals, and wishes yielding results that are not in line with your expectations, half way into the year, it’s going to be disappointing and disastrous at first realization. But then again, while I am allowed to sulk and cry and pity myself, that’s not a solution to the problem at hand. Especially for someone like me who needs to cry first before swinging into action.

However, for me to move forward, I’ll have to do a recap and look back at the beginning of the journey to question what might have gone wrong. And depending on the gravity, I will either ask for help, seek advice, and most importantly pray because regardless of the fact that the plans might have been obstructed, I need to talk to my Heavenly Father.

Also, nothing beats clearing your head, it’s like clearing the excesses and relieving stress, restarting and rebooting, after all, we are allowed to do this as much as we can so long as we do not totally shut down. This may mean taking some time off, going on a mini vacation, going to have fun and coming back renewed.

I remember when I was in the university and then a course wasn't going my way, I just closed the book, did a dress up, took pictures, complimented myself on how beautiful I look, had my bath, ate and slept. When I wake up and give the course a try, it becomes easier. This is me relating it to not having the resolutions going as planned, because we can only try our best and then have it at the back of our mind that not all things might go as planned, with this, it’ll be easier to reboot.

So regardless of if my set goals fail mid way into the year, I know that when there’s life, there’s hope. No matter how hard it will be to accept that there’s either a deviation or no result at all from the set plan, I’ll always come to the conclusion that eventually, all will be well.
