When a man reads voraciously, we can tell that he
will become an expert in that subject. So indeed, you have got to understand
that the things we bury ourselves in daily is what eventually determines what
we will end up becoming.
Another category of people who will undoubtedly fail
in life except they do something about it are poor planners. Gentlemen,
you have got to understand that the old saying; “people do not plan to fail,
but fail to plan” is still very relevant in this age and time. What this saying
means is this, whatever we fail to plan for, we have already began laying the
templates for its failure. We do not plan to fail, we only fail to plan. So when
we live our lives without a plan, we are like a man dancing naked in the rain,
he is on the edge of shame. While a plan may not guarantee success, lack of a
plan will guarantee failure.
Buildings have plans, there is a structural plan,
you will hear of a survey plan, you will even hear of government having master
plan, there is even a career called town planning. Everything in life that will
eventually last must be suspended on a plan. Why is it that you are the only
one who seems not to have a serious life plan?

A future that is not planned
cannot be arrived in. Poor planners take their lives most unserious and as
such who should actually take them serious? A life without a plan is a
disaster waiting to happen. Even God himself has a plan for the world, so
there is visible order in the things that you see - the universe. There is a
plan for everything.
The only evidence that you are
serious about anything is a written plan because it is a commitment to that
thing. What exactly are you planning to do to make things improve? Do you
have a financial and investment plan? Do you have a health plan? So if you do
not have a plan and all you do is wake up and live the day the way it comes,
the future will arrive like a turbulent tornado and you may not like what it
will bring to you.
Why is it essential to have a
plan?
Hello sir, a plan will make you
identify and manage risks effectively. It is only a plan that helps your life
to build a robust system that helps to see what is material and what isn't
material and helps to make critical decisions going forward. So whenever
there are risks that are about to accumulate, plans will help you to respond
effectively to risks in your life. There must be a working plan for scenario
analysis in your life. You have got to know what is changing, or is likely to
change or what is not going to change. You must also know what poses as a
threat to you. A plan is a system that makes life auto regulate itself. Life auto
regulates for a man who's got a plan.
A man without a plan will look for
someone who has one for him and he will operate with that man's plan. So
whether you like it or not, you must live life with a plan. If you do
not have a plan; I’m sorry to announce to you that somehow you will live the
plan of other people for your life, because 7.4billion people on this planet
somehow will hand you a plan. They want you to help them do something, or
join them in doing something - either for good or for bad. Somebody will just
influence you somehow.
My friend, it is important that
you have a plan for your own life. Live your life intentionally
