The old cliché tells us that failing to plan means we’re planning to fail. But, as guys, we’ve all experienced those moments when our best-laid plans come crashing to the ground. As we’re streaking toward the finish line, we twist an ankle or stumble on a rock. Truth is, planning for the future is an important part of life—as long as we do it the right way.
