Of course, in answer to this question, above, there are going to be some people that simply don’t have a plan, don’t have time or an interest in having a plan, and don’t care to plan. Then there are those others, that certainly have the time to reflect upon what their plan should or should not be, but go about working their plan in a haphazard and inconsistent way, ultimately to their lasting regret. Further, there are those that most definitely have a plan, and through their persistence and effort are successful in completing their plan, which may or may not, as the sands of time run short, have been the best of plans. Then there are those, that take seriously their obligation to really examine their own self, and from there, to discover that the greatest purpose of their life, is to live such a life that is in harmony with the force that so created them, in the beginning.
Within this world, as it is, there are all sorts of temptations and lures, that compete to get our attention, for not all that glitters is gold; in fact, most that glitters and therefore entices us is that fool’s gold. Additionally, life is full of distractions, serving to take us off course, and by the time we get back on course, we may be so far adrift, it seems almost futile to do something constructive about our predicament; which is why so many of us, go with the flow, never seeming to realize that it is only those that go against the flow, that are exerting their free will volition, that they truly have a free choice, and that it is well-nigh imperative that they exert such, or else they will not become what they really need to become.
People believe all sorts of things about this world, some of it true, some of it not. But recognize this, even the most cursory of thinkers, must know for a certainty, that none of what we see and are a part of, could have possibly just have come forth out of complete nothingness. This signifies, what every sentient human being implicitly knows, that because we were created, there must be behind our creation, the omniscient Creator. So then, this world, should best be seen for what it really is; which is a proving ground of our character, when so provided with absolute free will, by that which created us, of which, this thereby presents us with the fair opportunity, to do something of merit with this freedom, or not.
All sorts of people, like to talk a big game, about this or that, of what they are going to do or what they could do, but really, whatever the circumstances of a given life, our responsibility is fundamentally the same; which is to do the best that we can within our situation, and to make it our point to help to make our family, and our community a better place for our having been part of it, and this we must do, day-by-day, through our successful interactions with others -- so done by our display of our concern, patience, helpfulness, love, and fairness; all in the good understanding that we are all equal in the eyes of our Creator, and that the greatest tribute that we can make therefore is to be true to this, which makes for the best of plans.
