If the plan doesn't work, change the plan but never the goal. Unknown
Today's quote gets in the way of part of my Type A personality. I'm a planner but when my plans don't come to fruition or fail I can't get outside of the box and change the plan to still reach the goal. I just wallow around for a while, floundering as if lost at sea. DUH BETH. Change the plan, try plan B or C and go down the alphabet until one of the plans reaches the goal! If the goal is solid and realistic and healthy (physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally) then keep applying plans until one works! Don't let the failure of plan A change the goal but let the goal spur me on to find a plan that will accomplish it. Sounds so...simple, so...reasonable, so...logical. And yet I flounder. So I'm reminded today to quit wallowing and begin to get creative, move on to Plan B or C - or whatever letter I may be on - and continue to persevere toward my goals. After all, a huge part of accomplishing or reaching a goal is the perseverance I displayed to get there.
