So I Ran Across A Quotation That Got Me Thinkin’…

…Which Is Always A Highly DANGEROUS Situation.

😉

Trust Me.

Ask My Family/Friends.

They’ll Tell Ya.

"O.M.G.! You Let Bradley THINK!?! DAMMIT, This Ain't Gonna Be Good!"

Anyway…

…The Quotation That Piqued My Interest Was…

*** *** *** *** *** ** * ***

“In Preparing For Battle, I Have Always Found That PLANS Are USELESS…

…But PLANNING Is INDISPENSABLE.”

—DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

(Our 34TH PRESIDENT Of The UNITED STATES Of AMERICA)

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

Now, How True A Statement Is That?!

EXACTLY.

Hit’s It Right On The Head, Doesn’t It!?

And No, I Do Not Mean The Battle Part…

…But The “PLANS” Vs “PLANNING” Portion.

I Am Absolutely HORRID When It Comes To The Fulfillment Of “PLANS” In Almost Any Way You Look At It.

The “PLANNING” Portion Is What I’m Good At.

I Think…

…I Plot…

…I Piddle…

…And I Try To Set Myself Up To Have The Best Day Possible…

…Each And Every Day.

Does “PLANNING” Turn Into “PLANS” At Some Point?!

SURE IT DOES.

Can’t Deny It, So I Simply Shant.

BUT…

…What About The Fulfillment Portion?!

Honestly…

…It’s A Craps-Shoot.

The Odds Are In Favor Of Non-Fulfillment, However.

Why?!

Hell, I Dunno.

I Suppose I’m Just Bad At Keeping The Plans I’ve Made.

Always Thinking About Things…

…But Never Really Doing Any Of The Things I Thought About Doing.

😕

Sooo…

…What To Do, What To Do?!

Beats Me.

I’ve Been Planning To Go On A Walk, All Morning.

Have I Gone, Yet?!

Nope.

Why?!

I Dunno.

It’s Kinda Yucky Outside.

Could I Easily Put On A Jacket And A Hat To Keep The Rain’ish Conditions At Bay?!

Yeah…

…Probably.

ALRIGHT…

…Yeah…

…Yeah I Could.

I Easily Could.

I Could Make It Happen.

But I Haven’t.

😦

I Planned.

I Made A Solid Plan From Said Planning.

But That Remains To Be As Far As I’ve Gone With It.

And That’s Just A Minor Example.

I’m VERY Sure I’ve Made A Million-Plus Plans In My Time That Have Totally Gone Unfulfilled.

My Bad.

WHATEVER.

It Happens.

That’s Just Life.

Always Planning…

…Rarely Executing The Planned Plan.

Sheesh.

Does That Take-Down Some Of My Personal “Cool-Points” At All?!

Maybe.

Do I Care?

Maybe.

Does It Bother Me?

Maybe.

Should I Just Shut-The-Hell-Up And Go For My Walk?!

Maybe.

So If That’s All A “Maybe”…

…What’s The Solid?

What’s The Part I’ve Concluded With Measured Success?

The Planning.

Yep.

And I Found It Totally INDISPENSABLE, Just Like “IKE” Said.

Coincidence?

Nah.

Careful Planning?

TOTALLY!!!
