PLANNING

Before you can plan your future, you must understand your past. If you are human, you have made mistakes. Maybe you wish you could go back and do things over. It's easy to call perfect Sunday football plays on Monday morning. But real life is not like that. You could only plan, and act, based on what you knew at the time. And what you think was a failure might actually have been a blessing in disguise, because that successful launch you missed out on might have been only temporary anyway, and ended up in a crash landing. You cannot forget the past. But you can make the present so much better that you hardly care about the past. Besides, that was a different game. You were a different person. From now on plan every day to be a special day for you. You deserve it. Plan time to do little things you enjoy. Otherwise you won’t be in a mood to tackle big things. Most people fail to reach their goals because they waste time worrying and waiting for some special inspiration to motivate them for one mighty blastoff they imagine is the only way they can win, someday. They plan to take BIG action.....tomorrow. But the day will never come when there is enough time to accomplish anything really big, while every day that goes by offers many opportunities to accomplish LITTLE parts of a big goal. Here is the secret to success: plan the big things not as one big effort, but as a hundred little efforts. Remember the metamorphosis of a beautiful butterfly. So many little changes, not one big one. Never worry that your daily efforts don’t seem big enough or impressive enough to ever succeed. That’s only true if you stop. Just keep doing a little EVERY DAY to get closer to your goals. That’s the only plan you need.
