"Life is all about how you handle Plan
B"
by Lisa Morgan Dec. 20, 2016
Don't you just hate it when your preferred plan
of action aka "Plan A" gets fumbled? The next thing you know you're
looking at your options, one of which would be your backup plan or "Plan
B". When you have failed at "Plan A" the original plan of
action, which is usually your preferred method of approach, then you can
typically look to a good "Plan B", for your backup plan.
It's imperative to have a good "Plan B"
you can more often land on your feet rather than on your butt, see the failure
of "Plan A" to remind you of the fall you took. "Plan A" as
a general rule will not come with a soft because you intended to succeed, from
the beginning. Who wants to fail? Now that we have established "Plan
A" is not a fail proof or even a fool proof plan, then we must do due diligence, to ensure the utmost success with "Plan B". Failure is not the goal in anything you seek
out to accomplish, otherwise you would simply stay on the couch or in bed,
which is never the answer to anything.
You may find that your secondary course of action could very well be the
better option to have taken from the beginning, but perhaps you were overly
anxious, unprepared or just ego driven with the original "Plan A". If
we assume the "Plan A" was from being an unprepared, overly anxious,
egomaniac; then you can safely rename your "plan of action" to
"plan of an ass". You will soon realize "Plan A" is not
nearly as appealing as it once was, now is it? The backup plan you thought was
for losers might be viewed as the
"plan of blessings" or the new & improved "Plan B". It all depends on your
perspective.
The perspective you normally will achieve, after having fallen on your butt
is usually one of humbleness or regret, when you can look at it as a learning
experience. Somehow we humans view learning experiences as a positive thing
versus failures as a negative vibe. When they are in fact one in the same, as
in the glass is half full or half empty. The glass may be at the halfway mark,
neither empty or full, but waiting for the next course of action. If you
realize it's up to you to either fill the glass or empty it, then you place
yourself in control, rather than being helpless. Your next move determines the
outcome, while unwittingly you are building your character. you'll need that
character if "Plan B" turns out to be a dud, because "Plan
C" the plan of character building is sometimes called the "curve-ball
plan" or the"couch plan", because you never anticipated having a backup plan for the backup
plan. The couch plan" usually consists having a pity party, eating, drinking, continuing the pity party alone, eating while wearing your once loose sweats or yoga pants, until you've gained 20 pounds & those loose sweats or yoga pants make you feel like a sausage in a tight casing. Your occupy the couch approach will hopefully become so boring, that a new "plan of direction" or "Plan D" is inevitable. Hey sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to ensure that you are not still planted on the couch with your "Plan D" being the "depression plan". Slap yourself back into reality with a good old fashioned "Beach Slap" or a wave of reality, as I like to call it. Reality checks are the answer to selfies.
Life is all about how you handle "Plan B". Karma is always watching
to see if after "Plan A" you played by the rules or if you went
rogue. Those who go rogue, throwing out the Golden Rule & replacing it with
Lawlessness or the lack of all rules, find that Karma has named "Plan
B" the "Bitch Plan". We all know Karma is a bitch when you do
not play fairly. Karma smiles warmly upon those who try their best & their
"Plan B" will be a "Blessed Plan".
Make your plans but do know that while you make plans, God laughs.
