Plan Your Life Before it is Too Late.
Posted on October 30, 2006
People don’t really get the importance of planning their lives before it is too late. I didn’t and it cost me a lot of time and energy. Perhaps it was a journey I had to take to get me where I am today, but I know I could have made the journey a lot easier if I had even a general outline of what I wanted from life.
It is amazing how much more clearly you see your daily activities and the people you associate with when you know what you want to do with your life. Not everyone knew at five years old they wanted to be an Oscar winning actress, surgeon or astronaut. Some people where not even lucky enough to know what they wanted to do at 18, 25 or 35.
There is a remedy for that and it requires some work on your part. In the end, you will take control of your life, get off that spinning wheel of destiny and start living the life you deserve today. How do you take control of your destiny?You need to set a course for your life. If you take the time to decide what you want to do with your time here on earth it will be the most valuable gift you can give yourself.
Why does this work? It works because your thoughts create your life. You think it: good or bad, The Universe will create it for you. Like I said even a general outline played out in your mind, will do wonders in helping you chart a course for your life. You are the only one who needs to see your life charted out so be honest. If like me, you just want to lie on a beach with white sands, under a big blue and white umbrella, sipping a fruity cocktail for a couple of years until the UN calls you to become an advocate for children’s education in third world countries operating out of Switzerland (until then I will just keep giving money to charities), then that is what you need to write.
Chart Your Course. Who do you want to be? What do you want to do with your life? You have to answer these questions as honestly as you can. The answers will be indicative of who you really are. Don’t judge yourself if all you want to do with your life is have fun, we can’t all change the world. Pick something, and then find out how you can become that person.
Just a quick note, charting a course for your life is the first step to living that life. There will be work involved. You have to do the work to get the life you want. Whatever you decide to do you need an action plan, a plan followed shortly by Action! I can come up with all the clichés about hard work, etcetera, but I will tell you what I learned (experienced,) if you love what you are doing, you will sometimes have to force yourself to go to sleep, simply because you need the energy to get back to work the next day.
