Day 354 of wisdom
“In life, as in chess, forethought wins.”
Charles Buxton
Life is like a game of chess, one move affects the next. Every move must be carefully thought out and all possible outcomes must be considered before any step is taken. In life we must not make moves without proper futuristic thoughts, one move will always determine the next, and a bad move will destroy the prospect of better moves as it might not leave an opportunity for one to retrace and retract your initial bad move, thereby forcing one to make a series of more bad moves.
Brian Tracy once said, “Every minute you spend in planning saves 10 minutes in execution; this gives you a 1000 percent return on energy.” before taking any action, planning and forward thinking is very important to the successful execution of whatever you plan to do. Moments of planning saves a lot of execution time, and failing to plan might ultimately lead to a failed execution. You cannot embark on a journey without knowing exactly where you are going and how to get there, or how to get to the place where you will discover how to get to your main destination.
The Great French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte said, "Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in." You cannot win any battle until you have planned and deliberated on how that battle will be won, you cannot win in life until you have sat down and thought of the way forward, until you have examined the circumstances ahead of you and device means by which you will overcome these circumstances, and when the time for action is ripe, never wait a second more. Without forethought, life is a lost battle.
In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson who said, “Few people have any next, they live from hand to mouth without a plan, and are always at the end of their line.” Do not be among the many who just go through life aimlessly, not knowing what to do next, but be a person of focus, determination, and purpose. Pursue that which you desire with all you have and never relent until you achieve your goals. The battle will always be fierce and tough, but with a definite plan and perseverance, success is guaranteed.
