When Things Go Wrong; Change The Plan Not The Goal by menzo4u(op): 3:24am On Nov 08, 2015
*WHEN THINGS GO WRONG; CHANGE THE PLAN NOT THE GOAL*

Reading this piece alone shows that you have a goal in life, because only someone who really has a goal will be interested in reading anything that has to do with GOAL. So read on!

I am a passionate fan of the adage that says "man proposes, God disposes". Many motivational books have been written on the importance of planning to success in life, but it is not that most of us do not have plans, but the issue is that things just don't always go as planned sometimes.

As a fervent lover of the ENTREPRENEURSHIP "gospel", I will like to channel this article to that line.

It is your goal to create businesses, employ people, change lives, have a foundational institution in your name that gives to the charity homes.
In order to achieve the set goals, you make a life plan, and due to circumstances, the plan fails. Don't quit, don't give up, don't change the goal, just change the plan.

What have you set out to achieve in life (goal) that you decided to change or give up simply because things didn't go as planned? All you need to do is to change the plan, not the goal.

The plan "B" factor is all we need in ensuring we achieve our goals...just have an alternative plan always.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, not the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Charles Darwin

So whatever our goals may be, let's create a flexible plan that can easily adapt to changes in case things go wrong....change the plan not the goal.

@op, you were matter-of-factly.
Thanks.

Again, the goal to pay 5,000 to unemployed youths by this administration should be be pursued.
The plan on how to go about it can be changed.
I get.
