Any Enterprise is built by wise planning. You need to have your own plans for your future. Without a plan you live someone else’s future. If, you do not plan anything nothing happens, so in essence you planned to settle for less in the game of life.
Your Future is Important
Very few thing will actually happen as you wish, until you have made a plan of how to bring it into existence. Envision your future and take the necessary steps to move towards the vision. With a good decisive plan you can accomplish your life goals.
Life does not always go as we plan. Situations do arise from time to time. But, the vision will be your reminder of where you intend to be. In the big picture of life, it may not matter when you reach the vision. Staying on course is what important.
Wise Planning
You either have your own plan or become part of someone else’s plan. Wisdom is to take control of your own actions. Do not allow the outside influences to control your actions. It takes a great deal of discipline to step away from folly activities. Choose wisdom and make progress in your life while it is still day. There comes times in people lives when challenges arise and they are kept back from fulfilling their purpose.
You are happier when you have accomplished your purpose in life, it is a personal sense of gratification of work well done. We are wired to achieve, so take the time to be an effective strategic planner. A baseball team have a strategy of how to play the game to win.
You may not get 100% of what you are reaching for because of other unpredictable events. However, your vision will help you steer the course of life enabling you to reach at least 90% of your plans. As you would steer a car to stay on the road. It is same with your vision practice steering it to stay on course.
Stay ON Your Course
Your vision helps plans to stay on course, it keeps you focus in the right direction at the same time narrow down all the options. Your vision becomes blinders over your eyes so all you think and do is directly related to the end goal.
The next step is your mission statement how to get there. To become a doctor you need to study several years, train or apprentice, before you can have your own practice. The same strategy works for any person with a goal. However, leave room for adjustments.
You wouldn’t take a vacation and have no plans when you arrive. No, you plan what you want to see and do before. Primarily, because you want to know the cost and make sure you have enough cash with you.
The Game of Life
Life can be full of rewards and excitement when you know where you’re going. I call this the game of life. The game of life take the work and strife portion out of the hardness of work. If you relate to work as a game you can play hard and have fun while reaching your goal.
It is not in the hard work which will bring you success. It is the strategy in your mind that will overcome with the easy of play. The problem people have forgotten how to play. But play opens up the mind to fun.
Not everything you plan will work out, but at least you can measure your plan and make adjustments. If, you build on values you reap good character and success will not deviate from you.
The excitement of the plan will become the centre of your life interest. The personal reward inspires you to climb to new levels while in the face of challenges. Life becomes more strategic and the game
