Plan Z

Growing up, I used to love to watch the A-Team. One of the catch phrases that I loved from that show and still use to this day is, "I love it when a plan comes together." There is something extremely satisfying about things working according to plan.

However, things do often go according to plan. There have been countless times that I have formulated a plan, gotten everything together, implemented the plan, just to watch it fall apart right before my eyes. There are few things more disheartening than seeing a well thought out plan disintegrate.

I have shared before that I am a planner to a fault. I have detailed plans for most everything that I do or that I think I might do. I have detailed plans for everything that happens and/or might happen. I am a planner. And, more often than not, those plans do not go as expected. Many times I have to drop back to "Plan B" or "Plan C" or "Plan D".

Today's word is a saying that goes, "When "Plan A" doesn't work, remember that there are 25 more letters!" Keep on keeping on!

Things aren't always going to work the way we think they will or that they should. There are so many moving parts and pieces involved that something is certain to get out of whack. There will be those times when our perfect plan perfectly fails. But, that is no reason to give up. If "Plan A" doesn't work, go to "Plan B". And, if that doesn't work, go to "Plan C". The point is to keep on going.

Plans are going to fail. Our very best ideas and plans may fail. Our most detailed plan may fail. But, that is not a reason to quit. Look for another option. Develop another plan. Keep on keeping on! Plan Z may be just the right plan. If not, go to "Plan AA"!
