Planning with a wink and a whisper 😉
Hello Creators and Doers…
Have you ever felt caught between two seemingly contradictory truths? On one hand, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.”
We know the importance of a map, a compass, and a clear route to avoid wasting resources, feeling overwhelmed, or missing opportunities.
Trying to climb a mountain without a plan?
You’ll certainly go places, but they might not be where you want to go – and you definitely don’t want to get caught out on a sheer drop at night!
Yet, on the other hand, there’s the humbling wisdom of “Man plans and the gods laugh.”
Because life is inherently unpredictable.
And… over-reliance on rigid plans can lead to frustration, analysis paralysis, and missing out on the unexpected joys life throws our way.
This apparent paradox—the need to plan, yet adapt—can feel daunting.
That’s why I’d like to introduce you to Denkyem, an Adinkra Symbol represented by the crocodile. This ancient creature embodies both meticulous planning and lightning-fast reaction.
The crocodile shows us that our plans shouldn’t be rigid blueprints etched in stone, but rather flexible frameworks.
It’s about building in contingencies, staying keenly aware of your environment, sharpening your problem-solving skills, and practicing adaptability.
I like to describe it as Planning with a Wink and a Whisper
Ultimately, by embracing the Denkyem’s wisdom, you can learn to navigate the inevitable twists and turns of life, not just surviving the unexpected, but truly thriving in the face of it.

And above all else, trust in yourself—trust your instincts and rely on your inner strength and power.
This paradox is the exact reason that the Mountain Peak Strategies 7-Step Approach embraces chaos and offers tools to correct for it.
If you are ready for the next step, you can learn the 7-Steps through the Climb the Mountain Called Success Program.
It guides you all the way through from preparing to climb the mountains of your dreams, to the glorious view of the peak, and beyond.
It supports you to get from where you are to where you want and need to be.

It can be scary. Change often is.
But you can do it.
I know you can do it, and so do you!
All you have to do is get your hands… your actions… working together and backed by a coherently connected head and heart.
This will let you adapt to any changes you need to make and stay focused on your mountain-top goals.
