HIS Plans Are Working…

In the last few years, I have felt that a lot of my planning has gone waste. It used to be so irritating and would hit my confidence – “Oh no! Why didn’t I anticipate this hurdle?" was my usual complaint. And last year in between jobs, during the leanest period of my life, I took a stock of my decisions, plans and the reality. Amazingly, every time my plans were successful, it led to happiness and success but every time they did not, though temporarily I was sad but in the long run they taught me a lot. They led me to the path that I really wanted to follow & reach towards my ultimate goals.

So many a times, we get so upset, because things didn’t happen the way we wanted them to, that we are unable to see the whole plan. Coz, when we plan, we think of probabilities that may happen i.e. our experiences or which we feel can happen i.e. our expectations. Therefore, these surprises sometimes good or sometimes bad(as per our understanding) throw us off guard and we end up cribbing. If we wait for the initial hiccups to settle, we would realize that actually these variations are leading to a bigger picture and are a part of a much larger plan which is better than ours. Each failure makes us stronger to face bigger challenges and achieve what we want but fear that we would never get. Now, this depends on the individual how he/she would take it as - A chance to prove the capabilities or an excuse to give up. If it were so easy to achieve our dreams, they would lose their charm. These hurdles are just a way to take us to extremes to reach our utmost.

Remember, there always is a plan working for us; HIS Plan and unfortunate are the ones who do not believe in Him i.e. GOD. For each hurdle as we call it, he gives us a chance to jump over reach for the better or give up. Better believe, that every time our plans fail that failing of a plan does not mean that we have failed, it just means that was just not the best plan. Wait, take a stock of the situation and make another plan. Close your eyes , think of the times when what you planned, did not happen and your reaction to it. Each time you reacted positively, you achieved more than what you had hoped for.

There is someone up there, who loves us and wants the best for us, all we need to do is believe in ourselves and HIM. I feel very strongly that this belief can not be explained with proof and logic; it is either there or not there. But the people, who believe in HIM, feel secure that if our plans fail, he will take care.

It’s good if your plans are working but it is better if they are not, coz that means HIS plans are working and they are always better than yours.
