Change of plans

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.  
What about you?  How does today's quote speak to you?

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
