January 2nd rolls around and the plan you had for the New Year may have already been blown out of the water. It doesn't have to be that way. One setback shouldn't cause you to throw your plan away. Two critical elements of planning are the concepts of "flexibility" and "adaptability". Successful plans must consider unexpected and undesirable obstacles. Very few plans in life go perfectly as they were conceived. When making your "Plan A", we must consider all of the possible challenges that the plan may face while also being prepared for unforeseen factors. Living life under the assumption that you will never encounter problems is like a boxer assuming that they will never get punched in the face by their opponent. “Everybody’s got plans… until they get hit.” Mike Tyson We shouldn't be surprised when we get "hit in the face" by life. In fact, we should prepare for a pummeling and then respond accordingly.
