“Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.” – Thomas Wade Landry
Goals are achieved by executing plans.
Plans are necessary in order for one to maximize potential. Plans shape our decisions, give us guidelines, make us see what must be done to reach our goals, can lead us to abundance, and it challenges us to be more and do more.
A plan is something that you intend to do. It may be as vague as someone saying, “I plan to go to Boracay Beach one day.”
This type of general plan often does not push through. But if it does push through, it would be because someone planned the details.
It may be as specific as, “I plan to go to Boracay Beach on April 15 this year with my family. We are going to stay for a whole week. We will take Philippine Airlines via Kalibo. Our hotel will be at Waling-Waling. I am really looking forward to this vacation. I have been saving for a year to make this happen. It is going to be really fun!”
This type of a specific plan often happens. There is a destination, a vehicle, resources and a timetable, with some emotions into it.
In order for you to maximize your potential and go beyond your present limits, you must make a detailed plan of action to reach the goals that you have determined.
“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.” – Anonyomous
