Hello everyone, hope you all are doing fine, as for me i am doing perfectly well. Trying to do what you guys do here, making sure to drop write articles everyday. That is one of the things i promised myself i will don in the remaining part of this month. This is my second article, and i hope i continue what the same energy i started with.

Today we will be looking at a great topic that has somehow made people loose hope on themselves. Almost everyone of us here do make plans for ourselves but those plans don't work out the way we wanted. Don't panic if it didn't go the way it supposed to go, don't panic if you are not aware of the next thing or step to take. To be very sincere with you, it's not every time things are going to work out the way we wanted, and it is so okay like that. During the period i was ghosting here, i came across few articles related to planning, the were so nice that i enjoyed reading them. I learnt a lot from those articles also, how important it is to have a plan for our lives. I don't know for anyone else, but to me making plans ahead of a task is always scary, like will it fail or work for me.

Plans can choose to go a different direction which we never thought of. Using myself as an example, the plans i had for my life academically has changed over the years. At age 12, i always wanted to become a banker after graduation. I was so ready for it. Few years later, i was in an entrepreneurial seminar which was organized for young people, our eyes were opened to a lot of things and i was enjoying the seminar. My mood changed the moment the facilitator deviated somehow from the topic and landed on something that i would never have wanted to hear. He said in the next 5 - 8 years from that time, a lot of people will be jobless, not the the job won't be there anymore, but a better replacement will be made. He went on to use the banking sector as an example, that very soon robots will take over some sections in the bank. I don't want to gone into deep details of everything he said, but what i heard from him that day ended the the plan i had made some years ago. After some days, i opted to study another relevant course in the university.

I never knew that this is honey its going to be. The plans we make is likened to a journey, you don't know what is in-front of you, and somehow this is what makes they journey interesting and beautiful. Don't panic about anything, make plans for yourself and be patient and focus enough that you wouldn't let what people say bother you. It's always a trying time, it is so okay to feel that way, even if you know how your life will be in the next few years from now, or even if you are not aware of it at all, don't panic. Just enjoy the process.

Some people have been embarrassed several times when they are been asked "where do you see yourself in the next 7 years, or what are your plans for the next 7 years". Sometime the people asking this question wants to make you appear as an unserious fellow especially when you are around your parents. I don't think there is anybody that can correctly predict the future, one can barely predict what will happen the next minute no to talk of 7 years time. Don't let this people make you look like you are not serious with your life, it is so good to plan our lives for the next 7 years, but i will say you take it bit by bit. Start from somewhere, visualize where you will want to be in the coming days, week, months, and even a year. Focus on this small term plans first before thinking of long term plans.

I will submit by saying that you should make plans for yourself and also follow your passion. Don't panic if the plans don't go as expected. Don't stop, continue doing the things that will bring you more closer to achieving those goals you had in your plan. Even when the plans you had fails you, be patient with yourself, and believe that as long as you have not given up on your dreams, you will surely arrive at that beautiful destination you have been dreaming of.
