The Plan


Let me guess, things didn’t work out...?  So what now, where do we go from here? It’s said in order to succeed or at least ascend to some level of success you need a plan.  But I’m sure you had a plan the first time and that clearly didn’t work, so either we need to come up with a better plan or a better approach in the execution. The only problem with developing a "fool proof" plan is that as we all have come to realize life is a fluid situation and the day to day grind well offer countless surprises and unforeseen obstacles.  In these moments of turmoil is it most important to follow the plan as laid out or make concessions for what has occurred?  The thing about making concessions is that once you make one we all know there are more to follow and eventually you can lose sight of what you were trying to achieve; becoming a slave to the moment. Through my experiences I have come to realize that what is most important, critical, is that you maintain through all of life's ups and downs. Choosing to stay the course is more than admirable; it is paramount in the attempt to reach those lofty heights we feel we are destined to achieve.  No action and reaction, just action, continual and consistent, forceful and with great meaning.  Our course should not be a reactive pattern to events; it should instead be a purposeful walk in whatever direction we choose. 

Stay the course...
