Plan

Plan

As each year comes to a close we should take time to acknowledge what we did last year and plan for what we hope to do next year.

Taking the time to consider what may be ahead for us helps to make sure we appropriately plan and prepare for it.

It’s easier to rise up early in the morning when we plan to do something we want to instead of what we feel we have to.

In order to get the results we hope to we should always prepare how we plan to perform.

Preparation, confidence, execution, and faith all add up to results we can be proud of regardless of what we are working towards.

A good routine, repetition, and consistency are important. They help for when we’re faced with stress, nervousness, or the unexpected.

Even with the most well thought out plans the unexpected can happen. That is why it is so important to always be flexible and willing to change if needed.

Many of life’s most precious moments cannot be planned or predicted. They just happen and usually when we least expect them.

A wrong turn at the right time may still take us to exactly where we really need to be.

Choosing whether to focus on the difficulty of a challenging task or the opportunity it presents will impact how we feel about it.

Making the choice to be solution focused instead of problem focused is almost always better.

To make a change or accomplish a goal of significance the decisions we make and actions we take must be done with intention.

In order to improve at something we must be able to identify the improvements we want to make, create a plan to do so, and take action.

Most significant and worthwhile goals take a lot of time, effort, and commitment in order to accomplish them.

Having a plan that includes clear milestones that build towards your desired end result is important when working to accomplish big goals.

The greatest of plans are only effective when we follow through and execute on them.
