It is good to make plans and develop ideas for our future, for without proper planning and creation of ideas, nothing can be achieved. However, it is also important as God's children that we do not talk about it in excess to others, to an extent where it turns into bragging. Talking of plans is no wrong. Yet there is a always a thin line which when not realized can become words of grandeur.
The Word of God says,
Proverbs 27:1 (New International Version)
Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring.
James 4: 13-15 (New International Version)
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. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
Let us always be submitted to the Lord and expect Him to lead us as per His plans, though the best of our plans seem to be of good interest...
