When You Have It All Planned Out & It Still Goes Wrong

How Prepared Can You Be?

I had spent the weekend preparing for the 4,500 Steem Power Live Drawing that took place recently. Not only that but prior to actually going live I prepared hours in advance just to make sure I had everything lined up. Well... something still went wrong after all that preparation. Honestly I was super mad about how things kinda blew up in my face at first, but then I realized the nature of this world. Nothing is perfect. So I got over it to deliver this message to you. 

Listen. I am a huge proponent of preparing and putting yourself in position to take advantage of opportunities that are presented. But the truth of the matter is that things will not always go how you planned. We all have experienced this before. What I would say to you in regards to this is to keep preparing in spite of things breaking down and don't neglect putting yourself in great position to benefit from opportunities that come your way. You can prepare, prepare, prepare and those plans can fail, fail, fail. It sucks, I know. But we can even learn from those moments when our "perfect" plans don't work out. Much love. 

What are some benefits of planning things?

@humanearl,
Your delegation truly helped me a lot! So now I am aligning everything and yeah, I decided to keep high priority on you bro! We all the not 100% perfect! But we can do our best! I saw you are doing your best and it earned you a lot in this community and in real life as well!

Cheers~

I'm glad to see everyone who received delegation say how it's going for them. I've heard great things so far.

What we want from life?

  • Success
  • Money
  • Happiness

These three important things in life can be achieved with proper planning. Without planning they may come but will not stay. If you want to live a happy and peaceful life then plan in advance.

Planning is just another way to be aware of what you want.

This is motivational, this is really motivational I must say. Thanks for this wise words. You’re much appreciated. Plans can fail and only if the planner don’t fail to plan then the plan will definitely work out someday . Hard work and persistence brother

I had to remind myself of this too.

I work on the same principle. That is, I am used to giving a lot of time for what would be prepared. And what's that? It often happened that my prepared plans did not work. That is, everything went differently than I planned. I realized that it is necessary to develop the quality of "improvisation". Our life is not ideal and therefore at any time our plans can be destroyed under the influence of circumstances. It is important to understand that this is a normal phenomenon.

What can we do when our plans crumble? The main thing is to accept the situation. This saves a lot of time. If we look back and feel a sense of anger or regret, this will only exacerbate the situation. Took the situation and continued to act! The world is not perfect, but we are a part of it. Mistakes make us stronger.

Another thing to do is see what you can learn from the experience. Sometimes we don;t do a good job of planning and that may be the cause of things not going the we envision them in our minds.

@humanearl, Actually peoples have mistakes. Can be wrong with some thing. Everyone are nothing perfect. Planning will be help for save golden time and achieve our retrospectives suitable time.

That I agree upon brother.

There were many times when this kind of situation happened with me . Sometimes just planning things just won't work out. While we just have to go on and for that case we should not stop planning. Just have to be prepared for anything might take place despite our planning :)

Right. It's better to be prepared than not but just know that it still may not go according to plans.

So true Earl, it's like an egg plant just depends how you cook it..
I'm going to love that camera in Vegas!!
Just remember dear brother; the more great vids you make the faster you will get there :)

Bro I can't wait to use 360 in Vegas. I've been thinking of that since I first got it. It's hard to keep pumping out "great" content everyday. It wears on you.

the best benefit is you are already prepared for the worst and you can immediately take your next step when needed ;)

Exactly. I'd rather be prepared than not.

That's life, things rarely go as planned. I know that perfection is and will always be unattainable, but planning helps achieve something quite close to perfection

I used to be so much of a perfectionist when it came to creating music. Then I realized that sometimes things just don;t end up turning out how you planned. But still we should push to make it happen though.

Definitely right I have experienced this so many times in my life it’s crazy. But I will not give up. I’m a good planner but poor at execution haha

One things that helps to get better at executing is to set action steps. These are basically objectives to help you carry out your plan. Completing these action steps builds discpline over time.

Planning is primary thing as you know, without knowing what an organization wants to accomplish, management can't intelligently undertake any of the other basic managerial activities. So if we going with plan we will achieve our goal successfully on time. If not We loss automatically. This is a theory of the planning.

I spend most of my day planning. For example, I plan what I will cook tomorrow or what I will do tonight. I believe that it is quite acceptable to think ahead. You live and expect something from life. Yes, of course, it happens that everything goes wrong as you planned. But more often than not, what you have in mind is what happens. And this is good. True.

When it comes to big picture ideas then I usually plan. Otherwise I don;t plan much when it comes to details.

@humanearl maa darling, you are right about planning but then it's still very much HELPFUL.

Let's say one was to make over 100mistakes without planning in any thing but when planning was involved, it reduced it to 25mistakes. See! Also, it just reminds us that no matter how much one plans, error is bound to happen and that's because we are not perfect.

YOU ROCK!

I agree that planning helps to be prepared.

All I can say it's a pretty known quote:

prepare for the worst expect the best.

Nothing is perfect, mistakes happens even when we think we looked properly. Good you just looked passed it.
Planning helps to save time and creates time to make adjustment before final execution.

Execution is key bro.

Awwwww so sorry about that. Life is sure not a bed of roses...
As if brings us down, we must rise up and keep walking.

That's very true @humanearl you cannot always plan for every contingency. Just when you think you have everything covered a new problem arises. That's the way life is and always will be. I think is how you handle it really depicts how good or bad the outcome will be.

My coaches used to always say "it's not what happens to you, it's how you respond".

Nothing last forever @humanearl they are some dark moment of our life but what keep us going is the things we want to achieve, brother keep on moving they is light at the end of the turner

For sure bro. Thanks for this.

Planning removes every form of surprises. When you plan, you have a direction and focus first and foremost. If you don't plan, you are like an aeroplane that could crash at any minute, without petrol in its store.

Planning brings about beauty on execution. That moment when you conceptualize and draw out that plan. You will eventually see that the output is simply wow

Though there might be hitches here and there, but how much more when you didn't plan, then we're in for a disaster.

I like the fact that successful people plan before they act. Those are the secrets of successful people, am quite sure you're a master planner sir @Humanearl

Sometimes even when we plan there are still surprises waiting around the corner. One things that helps me to execute a plan is to first visualize the plan being complete. Do you use visualization?

Sometimes I do. But our human resistant and negative side would always see the failure.

I'm trying to come out of that pool of viscosity

I totally know the feeling. No matter how much we plan, things will always go wrong one way or another. Just gotta forge forward.

What are some benefits of planning things?

I think that planning things is quite beneficial, since it allows you to have clear ideas in any situation, gives you the opportunity to look at various scenarios and allows you the time to execute the ideas, however, even though it is beneficial to have everything well planned, we must keep in mind that not everything depends on us and something may not happen exactly as the plan says, most likely things will not happen as planned, not everything is perfect, so having the patience to attack the unforeseen is necessary, we must also be clear that it is absolutely necessary to think that everything that happens around us is the best, is as it should be, because that is how God chooses it and is how it will have the best results if not seen by our eyes, happy day

No worries. I can understand you. Right on with this comment. There are so many things that are just out of our control. So we have to plan and control what we can.
