A
Plan Is Your Ticket To Future
Planning
is absolutely vital in all activities of your life. It is an indispensable and
inevitable part of any accomplishment. He who must succeed shall plan and he
who must plan must succeed. You must plan if you want to succeed in life. Just
as eating is necessary to keep you alive, planning is equally necessary to make
your vision a reality.
According
to Stephen A. Brennan, “Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a
plan, in which we must frequently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act.
There is no other route to success.” Planning creates direction for you. It
keeps you on the right track towards your goals. It is certain that people who
have direction in their lives go further, faster and get more in all areas of
their lives
One
thing is to know where you are going; another thing is to know how to get
there. It is all about planning. Successful people look a little further down
the line. They know where they’re going and how they’re going to get there.
When
you set up a target, you must plan the necessary steps to take in other to
achieve it. Keeping a daily journal of your plans (your thoughts and
activities) is a good way to monitor your personal goals. If you miss a day or
more, don’t worry; just go back to writing without feeling guilty. It takes a
while to form a habit.
Plan
today for tomorrow and don’t worry about the past, instead learn from it, for
your past cannot be changed. Focus on the future; you can change your tomorrow
by your actions today. Take note of this: the more you look back the less you
get ahead
Peace
pilgrim told us that, “Yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision
but today well-lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every
tomorrow a vision of hope.” Bear in mind that your tomorrow is determined by
how you live today.
Prioritize
your plans. This will make your work easy and less cumbersome. It is important
to note that in the absence of well prioritized plans, you become strangely
loyal to performing daily acts of trivialities. Always consider the things that
have to come first and the one that must be done before the other. If you fail
to assign priority to your plans, you will fail to do the right thing at the
right time, thereby giving precious time to less important issues. It will also
make the work complicated to execute.
Proper
planning is a major key to a successful life. A thoughtful plan is like jewelry
made of the finest gold while a careless plan is like a cancer in the bone.
There is nothing as good as well planned venture. If it is worth planning, then
it is worth planning well. Such planning requires concentration and meditation.
It requires also a research, in order to source relevant information concerning
the task which you are planning to undertake.
Plan
carefully what you do, and whatever you do will turn out right. Your success
depends on how you plan and execute it; you will reap in accordance to you
plans.
A
student who plans well on the materials to use for study, how, where and when
to study, will come out in a flying colour. A worker or a businessman who plans
well on his rate of spending, by working from a budget, will keep his personal
finances on track thereby preventing spending decisions that can cause
financial disaster. It is simply wise to spend less than you make.
Remember
you make your plans, but God direct your actions. Therefore, ask the Lord to
bless your plans and you will be successful in carrying them out.
