Chances are you’ll fail if you don’t plan for your future.  If you go from one day to the next, just trying to get through the day without a plan, then you will certainly fail.  There are a lot of tools that you can use to help you plan for your future.  It involves setting goals and then making plans to reach those goals.

If you don’t design your own life plan
chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan
And guess what they have planned for you?
Not much.
Jim Rohn

Planning for the future is not just an activity reserved for the young, either.  No matter what your age is, you should continually be setting new goals to achieve.  Even if that new goal is to travel more or to spend more time with grandchildren.  If you don’t plan for it, it rarely gets done.
