Usually, after disappointment, we find ourselves second-guessing what we did (or failed to do) that led to our unhappy outcome. I believe that failure (as long as it does not kill us or permanently wound us) wakes us up to the value of planning. I am not talking about planning like a grocery list to jog your memory at the vegetable aisle. I mean put some serious thought into what is important to you and your family. Those things of importance should be your goals. When we fail to achieve a goal, we must think about that goal again. Is that goal worthy? Is it achievable? Do we have the means (resources), ways (different paths), and the time to achieve it?
