Plans

We usually plan in our lives. Sometimes we plan for a shorter span of time, sometimes we plan for long-term and sometimes we plan, as if we are going to live forever- We start planning things since our childhood. A child do planning for buying toys, playing games, doing homework and much more .As he grow older and enters his adulthood stage ,he start planning for his education, career and other   important decisions of life-This planning process continues till he perishes. No more life, no more plans-
But today some questions bewildered my mind. Like, as if we really plan something? Are our lives already planned? Are our plans always earning us success or desired results? Are our plans guided by Someone else’s plans?
To sort out the answers to these questions, I just closed my eyes, took a deep breath and started calling back some of my previous achievements and failures in life- I came to know about a strange fact, that all of my achievements were a result of some well motivated, well directed, and well organized efforts. While analyzing my failures, I came to know that although I planned for most of them but none of my failure had that level of motivation or effort at its back, which I had for my successful endeavors. After this careful analysis, I inferred one thing that our successful endeavors as well as our failures are well guided by Someone else’s Plans. That Someone else is none other than Almighty Allah. He makes us strive for what he has thought best for our lives. And sometimes He let us plan for our failures to make us learn, that Man proposes, and God disposes. Of course, He is the best planner.
