Topic:
Going To Plan B
Plans do not always work out the way we hope. When plans don't work
the way we want, we have choices to make about what to do next. When
plans don't work, we are challenged as a person. For a person who is
full of themselves and who is driven by ego and selfishness, a plan that
does not work is a major problem because when a plan does not work, it
takes humility to deal with a non-working plan. To be flexible in
dealing with circumstances is an enormously important trait. To be
flexible requires a person be humble enough to admit a plan did not
work. To be flexible and to achieve success requires we build a backup
plan to deal with unforeseen events or the failure of our initial plan.
When you react with disgust and disdain over a plan that failed, you are
killing off your ability to function and be flexible in achieving
success. It is the inner qualities of a person that so often determine
success or failure. Two people, let's call them person A and person B,
can make the same initial plan and build the same kind of backup plan.
However, if person A has to always have their own way and refuses to
deal with adversity with humility, it makes no difference whether a
backup plan exists or not. If person B encounters the same obstacle and
sees defeat using the initial plan, but person B is humble, then the
second person's humility will win out every time. When a person is
humble, they are more than willing not to demand their own way, but to
demand only the way that wins.
