Very important! I believe strongly that everyone should have a goal and plan for their life. I started with my first job planning for a career. At the age of 23 I was able to land a job in my current field and now I'm 49. Life is full of opportunities with doors that open and some that close. I want my plan to always be in line with God's plan for my life. What I do on this earth is important but my most important plan is one day seeing my Lord and him saying well done.
