I know each of us has its own plans for a better future.
Let me share you a recent article I am reading a while ago.
Yes, we know that we have uncertain future and the question is How will we face it.
In the Purpose Driven Life based in the bible there are principles in facing uncertain future.
First is above all in setting our Goals Let God set it. We may make plans but God has the Last Word and I strongly believe, because planning without praying is presumption.
Secondly Future is Uncertain so live one day at a time. All of us wants to become successful and we have many plans.We fail to live for the present and spend so much time regretting the past and worrying about the future.
Thirdly,Do what you can do for the day. Don't put off doing things because of tomorrow. As for me I have this on my mind that what I must do now should be done now because I don't know if tomorrow comes or what is in for me the day after today.
Future is really uncertain and I have so many plans. But with so many plans because of hindrances I fail to take action. I am not consistent and I get frustrated.

I have always taken life as it comes. Even if I am forced to plan,I just plan my short term goals,not long term ones. I've never been consistent in doing my job,so I never plan things seriously failing to accomplish will make me even more frustrated reducing my output quality even more. Will face everyday that god has given me boldly. Just follow the DO GOOD BE GOOD priciple. Will give my best to accomplish the task and then leave the rest to god saying that my part is done :):)

hi there savitha, thanks for the response.
thanks for sharing with me that principle DO GOOD BE GOOD.
That is why Put God in everything that you do.
Its one way of saying in everything that we do we have to ask permission with GOD thru our prayers.

I have two plans. One for long term and one for short term. Long term like I will complete MBA in next three years and short term like I will implement this in next two days. Most of the times I am consistent with my plans, except those where I plan things like cleaning the mess in my room etc.

Its like the saying,"enjoy your life today,past is gone,tomorrow may never come".We can only do what we can and everything is on God's hands.As long as we are following the right path and we are not hurting anybody i am sure a better future is ahead on us.I left everything to the Lord and i am very happy living my life with my family.They are the most important to me.

Planning is needed in everything. With it faith in our self and god also needed. It is well said, do our half; HE will do his half. The first step should be taken by us. So it is not at all good staying without doing anything, submitting everything on fate and God.
If you work hard, definitely you will succeed. Nothing can stop...
