When Things are Not working out

 Hey there, Now today, I would like to talk about an issue I think affects every one of us. You know we are so into winning in life that we are planning for things to work out as we expect not that I am against it, and as much as there are techniques, tactics, and plans to achieve a certain goal. We have to admit that sometimes it does not work out as we expect and this would lead to some discouragement if not quitting.

I like the way author and powerful speaker, Simon Sinek puts it, 'plan for the fact that planning never goes to plan.' So what is my point? In as much as we always plan, we will never have a secure and sure plan and at times we get into something most business people call the dip. You know where you are not going forward or backward almost like in a see-saw(up, down movement). Having said that we have to remember that we have to plan even in the midst of the deep or in other words when things are not working out.

Perhaps that is the point where you stop, ponder, and analyze what went wrong. What did you not consider in your plans or techniques? I think these dips or obstacles happen for a reason so to speak and we should realize that they are not here to stop us but rather to show us that it will not work out that way. So instead of getting beat down, discourage, and filling like a failure, we should turn it around and be happy that we have known a way that it does not work out. Wait for a second, Oliver are you telling us to be happy to fail? No, I am not saying you look forward to failure. I am saying you plan, but if things do not work out as you expect you do not beat yourself down, you raise yourself up and find your way around that dip, that obstacle.

So to summarise, In life you Will hit your face on the ground, life will knock you out cold. You will fail at some point but as things are not working out this is the time you get back up look at what is the cause, plan again, and get back in the game. Remember they say "those who win are not the best planners, the strongest, or the ones with all the resources. Winners win for the subtle fact that they think they can win."
