I think one should have a balanced life. You can plan out, but not too much haha

Yes, a balanced life is the best choice.

It means that when you make plans and set your goals you should start and do it and not just make plans. Making plans without putting it into action is useless.

Yeah, what's the use of making plans if you will not act on it. I guess we can say that those people who just act without planning is a waste of time too. But sometimes if this plan of ours don't work out the way we have imagine it to be, we must also have our options just in case, to make it at least work in our favor.

I still have plans, and I still have hopes but I don't expect too much that I can achieve it now. As I can see my situation right now only prayers and good luck are in my faith. I know if someday my plans are fulfilled it's only destined and lucky to have that.

Anyway, we should not expect much especially if the odds is against our plans but at least we have planned it and we give all our effort to make it real. That is what makes life exciting and beautiful, we don't have to be contented what is laid to us but we can make it work in our favor to our satisfaction. I also don't believe in luck if one works for it, the possibility of having it definitely had an edge.

The meaning for me, even the most thought out, best made plans can change in a moments notice, so always have plan B. I have made plans before that ended up being changed the day before or the same day due to unseen events happening. For myself, I have learned to make plans, set goals, etc. but, if something unseen or out of my hands happens, go with the flow. It is much less stressful.

Yes, that's a good suggestion. One must have an option in case the first one didn't work out as planned. Sometimes if what we set up didn't work out sometimes it works itself out without any help from us. So, if this happens we just go with the flow and if it's possible to make changes to make it work favorably for us then we can apply it later.

Well it would be really foolish to go along without making any sort of plan, even if it is a general one. Because those who fail to plan are just going to stumble and bumble right around. To the point where they are going to waste a great deal of time, not being able to do what they need to accomplish and as a result, they are going to be really stuck to say the least. But at the same time, there are people who are going to over complicate the most simple of things right out there. There are going to be many times where we are going to make plans yes and it is important to do so. However, by doing so, we end up boxing ourselves right into a corner and being unable to successfully find our way out of that corner. So in the end, we need to make plans but also be flexible. But don't over complicate things. At least that's what I've got out of that saying.

Yes, it's better to have plans or set goals for our life to enjoy it to the fullest. Sometimes it doesn't work the way we have planned it but we must be flexible or have option just in case it didn't materialize as planned. There are people too who just wait for their luck to step in thinking that whatever one does if it's not for them it wouldn't work out them. But for me it's better to have plans than nothing.

Some people believe that it's pointless to make plans because God is in the drivers' seat anyway. That isn't necessarily the way my mind operates. I believe we can visual certain things for ourselves and work with the law of attraction to eventually materialize what we think about. Obviously, this works out well for people who intentionally use their minds in a positive way. It could also work to a persons' disadvantage if they dwell on fears and negativity. I believe that to some extent we are in the drivers' seat in our own lives because we make our own personal choices. At the same time we must surrender and allow ourselves to flow with change.

Yeah, there are people who just wait for what is destined for them. Some believed that whatever one does if it's not really for them will not materialize even though he/she had given all to make it real. Maybe because they had seen or their friends had experienced it but I don't believe in this sayings. One must do something to make it happen and I think one can feel it if it is working or not in his /her favor.But he/she should know also when to stop when it doesn't work the way he/she plans it.
