PLAN YOUR LIFE

Things just do not go your way, why? Because you had or have no plan. Do you know what direction you want your life to go in? Do you spend time thinking about those plans (visualizing)? Can you say with confidence what your plans are if asked? Then how on earth or should I say in the Universe can the Universe give you the life you want. If you don’t know what you want, the Universe doesn’t know what you want, ergo – YOU DO NOT GET WHAT YOU WANT.

If you do not set specific goals and make plans the wheel of fortune will not only roll over you, you will find yourself dragged along on someone else’s journey, it is not their fault you made no plans, you might as well help them with theirs.

Do not set out to see your future in six month increments, why? Because the moment you forget or neglect to set the next six months in motion you are sunk. You needed continuous, consistent, committee o your life plan. It has to be a plan that is organic and grows with you, you just have to fill in the blanks. Believe me you do not want to be caught in on of those “blank” periods.

You have to start with a big picture, ten, fifteen years; then fill in the blanks. You can say in ten years I want this, and in five years I will do this, and in three years I will do this, and in six months I will do this. Even if you never look at the plan again, you will find your life going in that direction. The thing however, is if you do not work on your plan, I mean “Work” on your plan by getting specific, visualizing, aligning yourself with things that will help you achieve those goals, taking control of that wheel of fortune, you may be dragged through a bed to thorns to get to the same destination, you could have sailed to on a luxury liner.

Yes, setting goals and making plans are important, this post is a word to the wise, you can do the work now and sail through life or you can do the opposite, you will be shocked at how much choice you have.
