If you watch football, you'll notice that there are different formations (game plans, patterns); the 4 4 2, 4 3 3, 4 2 3 1 etc. Some favour the all attack, others the defence and sometimes both. Which ever one the coach and his team players decide to use, the most important thing is that the players get on the pitch and WIN.
This is achieved by applying the formation initially practised in the main match and scoring goals. However what is sometimes obtained on the pitch may not seem to favour the initial game plan or formation, so the need for some adjustments.
Thank God for 'half time' where coaches review their various game plans. The main goal still remains winning by scoring as many goals as possible, defend too, in order not concede many goals.
So it is with life, we have our God- given assignments(dreams) and also a perceived or prepared plan or pattern of achieving it. As we go on day by day, we do face challenges and difficulties. What we can do at such points is to take some time and revise our plan and not be quick to revise our dream(God given dream).
George S. Patton Jr. said,'successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.'
It may be an organisation that you are leading, Peter Drucker said,' the question that faces strategic decision maker is not what his organisation should do tomorrow. It is "what do we have to do today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow?'.
For that goal, dream, or ambition you have, be open minded, stay flexible and learn to adapt, knowing that 'the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord'(Psalm37:23).
