My life is the best reflection of what I truly believe.
James 4:13-17 NIV
13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

The duration and direction of your life is determined by God.

Planning isn’t about asking God’s advice, but seeking God’s will.
