Happy Monday Motivational! All weekend I was contemplating what to share for motivation today. I was asked last week what the vision for my life is. Hey…that’s a BIG question. Fortunately, I am in a place that I do have a vision for my life. Sadly to say, I haven’t always had a vision . I guess I was somewhat assuming that “things” just kinda happen while you live.” While it is true, things do just happen while you are living ; the truth is, unless you have a vision or plan for your life so much time and effort is wasted and you set yourself up for failure. If you don’t have a PLAN, you are planning to fail. I started going over this concept again and again in my mind this weekend. I thought how many,really great people,are just aimlessly living their lives?
The other day I was walking through my neighborhood and came to an area where a bunch of carpenters were. They all had their tools and were conversing about building a complex. Quite interesting. So there they were with tools and just decided to put up random pieces of boards and doors and a window or two…obviously this is a bizarre story. We all know that this is not what really happens. The carpenters at this site all have a blueprint for the project they are building. Every single detail is listed and thought out before the ground is even broken. They have a “plan” and they will succeed at building the complex as long as they follow the blueprint.
Have you ever watched a chef as he prepares a gourmet meal? It isn’t some arbitrary throwing together of ingredients. Each step along the way is built into the recipe. The chef knows that when he has finished, he can expect a certain end result. If he were to just throw in” a bit of this and some more of that ” there would be no guarantee of the finished product.
When you get on a train in NYC and have the destination of Disney in Florida, obviously the conductor of that train has a route to follow. You don’t purchase your ticket in hopes to arrive at the destination. The conductor has a path to follow. You can rest assured that the train you are on will arrive exactly where you desire to go. There isn’t any guessing work because he has the route already mapped out.
So it is with our most precious commodity, our lives. Unless we have a vision for our lives, then we will not get the desired effect that we are hoping for. The time we have to live is limited. It is really important for us to examine what it is that we want to accomplish in this life . Make it happen! Set up some goals, make some action plans, and become accountable for what you desire to happen in your own life. This may sound like a lot of extra work but honestly in the long run it actually causes you to have a better quality of life.
Have a great Monday!
