What Are Your Plans in Life?
Nowadays, most people always have a game plan for every goal they want. Whatever aspect it is of our lives, we want everything to be exactly as we dreamed it should be. Sadly, life doesn’t always turn out the way we expect.
In Kindergarten Cop, it was supposed to be Phoebe O’Hara, who must act as the substitute teacher. But, because of her severe stomach flu, Detective Kimble had to take her place.
Kimble found it overwhelming at first but found a way to adapt. Ultimately, he learned to love the kids and his new profession. He even found someone to love!
This just goes to show that everything happens for a reason. We must not be disheartened whenever we are faced with defeats. Instead, let us treat them as opportunities for growth.
We hope this list was able to give you the motivation to stay strong in times of difficulty. Remember that what’s meant for us will always find its way. We might have goals and aspirations for ourselves, but His plans are always greater than ours.
