There is a future, and you do well to know ahead of time what you are going to do with it. Many options are available. If the problem is a one-time occurrence and you are with a “wise person” who sees the problem and commits to solving it, a plan is probably not necessary. Unless she needs some help seeing where she is wrong again, she will follow through on her own. With others, you would do well to have a preset plan for the future.
