Change Your Life Make A Plan

When it comes to changing your life, there is an ingredient that many miss. That ingredient means the difference between living a life in reaction to what happens to us and one that we have some deciding in the direction. Changing your life is hard, but it is harder still when it is because we make certain choices, but it is the only way to get where you want to go.

The vast majority of people live their eighty or so years with no sense of proactivity in their lives. They react to one thing after another. People and events push them this way, pull them that way. Circumstances in their lives control who and what they are.

We really have no choice to change or not. Our lives change whether we like it or not. The question then is, do you want it to change in ways that you have absolutely no control over, or do you want to have some say in how it goes?

Knowing what you want and planning that life will not guarantee that things will work out the way you want, but it certainly stands more of a chance than letting others and circumstances do all the deciding.

I know so many people who want to change their lives, but there is no plan, there is no thought as to what they want or expect. If you expect to change your life, you must have a plan. What is your plan? What is it you want and how do you plan to get there?

Sit down today and write out three things you would like in your life. Just three things is all I ask. Write those three things and decide that these three things are important. If they are not, change them until you have three things that are. Start working on one of them right away. Decide how this is going to come about and start moving in that direction.

Changing your life on purpose is hard, but it is better than having your life changed without your say.
