Why Plan?

Have you ever thought of the mindset, planning and purpose involved in achieving some of the greatest discoveries ever made? For the Wright Brothers, that purpose was to determine a way for man to fly; for Alexander Graham Bell, it was to solve the challenge of communicating over distances; for Thomas Edison it was to learn the secret of artificial light (after 3,000 failed attempts). These respective passions drove these men each day to never give up. Without a clear mission and plan of action, these men would likely have failed and the world would not have received their benefit. In the end, they each made the world a better place to live.

So…What is your purpose in life? In 20, 30, 40 years from now, what do you want your life to look like? What do you want your life’s legacy to be? Will the world be a better place as a result of your life? How does your career help you attain that purpose?

"The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to achieving your dreams." -- Og Mandino, 1923-1996, Author

Even the restaurant dish washer will feel his work become more bearable if he knows that his work is part of a larger plan to one day open his own restaurant. Identifying your own goals and greater purpose in life is the key to happiness and, ultimately, success in life. It is the key to fulfilling your potential, both as an employee and as a member of the global community. And each life goal you set is a step toward fulfilling your ultimate purpose. This “goal setting business” is a different way of thinking about our lives, but one that we can each learn and apply to make each day a conscious step in the right direction.

"Drifting through life without aim or purpose is the first cause of failure" - Napoleon Hill
Go set a plan for your life today. Failure is not an option because the world is waiting to receive the benefit of your plans.
