I know don’t plan to fail, sounds so familiar but I know it will help some people if not all and planning is a part of our daily life.

Benjamin Franklin supposedly once said, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” Sir Winston Churchill is credited with another, saying: “Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.” And along that same vein there’s the phrase we hear often, “learn from your mistakes.” 2017 promises to be a great year for us all, I agree but something’s need to be in place. Like planning, Write the vision, make it known, set goals for yourself and watch your goals come true. Learning from your mistakes in 2016 will help you set a better and more excellent goal in 2017, but Don’t spend your time pondering the past, focus on the wins not the losses−the lessons learned from doing something right will provide a better chance of continuing your success.  What have you done right? What worked? Why did it work? How you can repeat it? Instead of making something worse a little better, how about making something good a little better? Don’t spend so much time looking down. Look up more.” So focus on the good times and build your strength from there. Trust God to give you grace, surrender your goals and plans to him and watch all your goals come true.

 If you fail to plan for success you are planning to fail.

Happy New Year 2017, it’s our year of possible achievements.
