Planning of Life

It is a person’s planning of major life events: what and when they will happen, will happen, will happen. Life planning does not guarantee that the plan will happen, but not having a life plan ensures that life either flows by chance or unfolds according to the plan of others.

Life planning is the construction of a specific life plan for a year, 3 years, 5 and 10 years and beyond, where high and inspiring goals are set. The first person known to start planning his life was Benjamin Franklin.

Most people live their lives without setting any goals for themselves: setting goals is quite a substitute for hopes, dreams, and fantasies. The phone rings, or there’s a great movie on TV. A plan is a shot at the future. A plan for the day is the future today. The plan for the month and the quarter is the future of an effective organization. The plan for the year and for life is the future. People who live for the future are few. But they are more likely to succeed.
