The importance of planning

Planning is essential in achieving our goals and dreams. Without a plan, our efforts often go up in smoke and we end up disappointed and frustrated. We need to have a clear idea of what we want to achieve, break it down into smaller goals, and work towards them step by step. This will help us avoid getting lost or giving up halfway through. In addition, we should be open to feedback and adjust our plans accordingly. Only by doing so can we achieve our goals and live our dreams.
