Suppose you want to travel somewhere. What’s the first thing you do? You get a map that shows where you are, of course. Now you can clearly see how to get where you want to go.
Subsequently is the planning. You will not only get in your car and drive or ride a bus or train or plane and hope for the best. No, you would plan a route. Fundamental to the fact that you will need to know you’re starting point. You cannot choose the direction before you know exactly where you are. So, to arrive at a destination point, we know the origin. Only then can we fill the gap between.
Say for instance you want to get into town and F starting with the city of A. Your first Check Point is the town of B. Then move to the towns of C, D, and E. By checking your route along the road you can be sure of reaching your chosen destination.
Sometimes the road we take the wrong path. When this happens we need to check our map. If we do not, we stay in the wrong direction. Obviously this is usually when we are not our card often enough or we did not have a card. Checking the chart enables us to “get back on track.”It’s pretty well known fact that all aircraft are “off-target” most of the time. However, minor adjustments along the way to ensure that the aircraft travels along the general route until it arrive at the site. Not to make adjustments at the level of one or two can cause the aircraft to be hundreds of miles of track. The same happened with a car steering wheel. Not to make adjustments will see you eventually in a ditch on the side of the road.
That is the biggest journey of them all. Why do so many people just how wrong they were together, without any plan? So many people have no goals, plans; there are no checkpoints – nothing. But they hope to achieve a fantastic destination called success.
Write your own plan. Mark the checkpoint – A, B, C, D, E, F, and so on. Monitor your progress. Measure against time. If you do this you will so far ahead of the masses that not only does not know where they go, but do not know where they are. Remember; be realistic about the starting point and your destination. Enter the checkpoints only a matter of course then.
Take a ‘Journey of Life “and do not forget the roadmap. It is much easier if you know where you’re going.
