PLANNING – January 18, 2016
Planning is like wishful thinking but a bit more organized and more apt to see it come to its fruition instead of wishing to win the lottery.
See planning is about preparing to achieve a goal or reach an objective. Planning is about getting all your ducks in a row to make something happen.
While a wish is just a wish, a plan is all about doing something, making something happen.
While wish will either come true or not, reaching or achieving a goal or objective is about doing the hard work with some blood, sweat, and toil there is very little magic about it.
When wishes don’t come true then you move on. When you do meet your objective or achieve your goal you can adjust the plan and keep moving towards it.
So PLAN, DECIDE and ACT!
Remember, that no matter how hard you think about doing something and no matter how meticulous the plan is, nothing will beat executing that plan and making things happen.
Just do it!
It does not take a genius to know that worrying will get you nowhere and it is time wasted. However, by taking action on that worry and doing something positive then time is never wasted.
Unfortunately, most people seem to love to worry while kidding everyone by telling them they hate it. How do I know this?
Easy, we find ourselves in an almost constant state of worry.
It may be time to step beyond the paralyzing effects of worry and turn that wasted energy into something that will help you grow and move beyond what was once the norm.
Overcoming anything does involve a little planning.
The Allies overcame the D-Day landings with a little planning, NASA overcame landing on the Moon with a little planning, and you can do the same with a little planning.
Take the time to identify what it is you want to overcome then draw up a simple plan to do so. Then as you start working your plan then you can start to adjust and fine tune that plan.
However, going into anything without a basic, rudimentary plan will result in nothing but spinning your wheels and ultimately, going nowhere.
You can sit there and tell everyone all the good stuff you plan to do. Good for you and your good intentions.
However, when you get up off your backside and make it happen, then you become a person of action.
Action is always better.
