Over the last 25 years, it
has become a ritual for me in the last days of the outgoing year, to sit down
with myself and God and review how the year had gone, the gains, the losses,
the successes, the failures and my net worth for that particular year.
That is a prelude towards
creating a pathway for the incoming year.
I have come to appreciate
this task that I used to look forward to it with keen interest as each year
began to end.
I learnt from the Masters
that a Plan (especially a written one) is a visible road map that keeps one on
the direction he or she has chosen to tread in the year and so I write down my
Plans in easy and simple to understand pattern and that keeps me on course for
that year.
Written plans are viewed
by many of the most productive people I know as the power tool for achievement,
the magic bridge to your goal.
Alan
Lakein, the author of books on time control said, "Planning is bringing
the future into the present so you can do something about it now."
So if you want to join the
group of "Year Planners" in making a written plan, some of the
questions you might begin with are:
Where do I want to be
three months from now; six months from now; or a year from now?
How am I going to get
there?
What do I have to do to
get myself from where I am to where I want to be?
What's the first, small
step I can take to get moving?
Stephen Brennan said,
"Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a written plan, in
which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There
is no other route to success."
You will be surprised how
often the circumstances which will confront you, will fit in with plans you
have laid out in advance.
Bernard Baruch, an advisor
to many US Presidents, said, "Whatever failures I have known, whatever
errors I have committed, whatever follies I have witnessed in private and
public life have been the consequence of action without thought.”
You can write your own
Plan today, that is if you have not done so yet.
