What having a baby has taught me is that having a plan is great, but life is unpredictable, and that’s okay.
Newborn babies can be unpredictable, making it hard to plan their eating, sleeping, or daily activities. If my baby decides to stay up late, I may not be able to go to bed early, as planned. As Andre 3000 said, “you can plan a pretty picnic, but you can’t predict the weather.”
It’s important to be able to quickly adjust to unforeseen problems and make the next right move. Instead of complaining about not getting enough sleep, I accept things for what they are, take care of my baby, and find something productive to do while up late at night (or my wife does, I still try get my sleep at times LOL).
The same applies to football. Our offense may plan to score, but we might throw an interception instead. We can’t let that one bad play get in the way of winning the game. The defense would have to go out there and respond and help salvage the offense’s mistakes.
Even if small plans don’t go accordingly, it’s important to keep the right attitude and motivation to achieve the big goals. Don’t let one minor setback derail your entire journey towards achieving your big plan.
