Life Plans

If you’ve ever built a new house, you know the prudent thing to do is to make sure that the bank is willing to lend you the money that’s needed to build (and finish) your home (Luke 14:28). That analogy is a lot like a person’s life. Are you the type of person that has your life all planned out. This could include things like your career path, marriage and family, and retirement. (This list is not exhaustive.) You are rigid about your “life plan.”
On the other hand, maybe nothing in your life or future has ever been planned out. Instead you prefer to deal with your existence as it happens. Changes are made as is needed. Neither one of these extremes is the right way to go. A combination of both attitudes can result in what is needed.
You are the author of your own life story. You are the only that can be its editor in a new and different ending. Does this scare or empower you? There are books and professional counseling services that can assist you to reach the desired outcome. The work may be hard. The results are up to you. This goal is achievable if you want it bad enough. By the end of this process, you will be better person.
