In China, you may want to replace that "God" with "Mother Nature", "Buddha" or "the Tao". Don't plan. The laws of the universe won't let you get away with your foolish dreaming and scheming. So take it easy.
As a matter of fact, Mother Nature won't intervene. The Christian God may punish you for making foolish (unrealistic) plans from time to time. Buddha won't. Instead Buddha lets you punish yourself. This is similar to the Chinese Tao. The Tao doesn't punish, knowing rewards and punishments are carried out any way in due course. All in good time.
If your plans don't work, you should know that you probably don't deserve what you plan about. Not only that, people who plan a lot probably don't even deserve what they have now. They have a mind so fixed on the future that they tend to ignore the beauty/ugliness in the details of everyday life.
I'm talking about the little things, you know, a stick, a stone, the end of a road, the sun, the moon, the light, the sound of the night, the sound of a thrush, the sound of the wind blowing free, a spear, a spike, a drip, a drop, the end of a tale (borrowed from the lyrics of the Waters of March).
Alan Watts once said (I paraphrase): "There are three people in the world, the aristocrat, the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. The aristocrat lives in the past - they're like potatoes because their best part is underground. The proletariat lives in the present because they don't have anything else. And the bourgeoisie lives for the future - they are the eternal suckers."
