Questions You Should Ask Yourself Every Morning: What Are My Plans For Today And For The Future?

Brian Tracy Famously Said:

"All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose"

The future belongs to those who plan their days, their actions, and follow their plan meticulously. Overtime, the Bible, philosophers, and great people from all works of life have all given strong evidence to prove that been ahead in life, is to plan ahead.

You cannot succeed in life without plans, you cannot make your dreams a reality without plans, you cannot get things done without plans. Therefore, it is pertinent to plan your day a night before or the moment you wake up.

Why? Because this will ensure you stay on track with your goals, it will help you make other achievements, and make your life so much easier, stress free and make you on course with your dreams.

How do you plan your day/the future?

For the day: begin a mental list (or write it down) of all the important things you need to do for the day. Then evaluate and then arrange them, according to their importance, after that put each list to a specific time frame. That way, each hour is tied to a particular chore or activity you intend to carry out.

For your future: begin by writing out the list of things you want to achieve, tie this to a particular year in the future. Then, work daily towards it. Ensure that your daily actions are geared towards your future plans.

It is important to note that, as you begin to plan, you may not necessarily keep up to your plans, one after the other. So don't beat yourself up, these plans are merely meant to serve as a guide. Hence, the more you practice, the more accustom you will be to following each plan.

Remember what Abraham Lincoln Famously Said:

"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe."

And Yogi Berra said:

"If you don't know where you are going,
you'll end up someplace else"

Planning each day and working with your plans with ensure long term success.

THREE WAYS TO OVERCOMING YOUR WEAKNESSES.

Matshona Dhliwayo Famously said: "To realize your greatest strengths, you must first overcome your greatest weaknesses" The reason why so many great people seem perfect or infallible, is not because they are perfect. But because they have learnt how to master their weaknesses. Every man you see has a weak spot. It could be in their character, for some it could be their loved ones, while for others, it could be their lifestyle. But ultimately, human beings by nature have weaknesses they all try to hide. Now, this is where the problem lies, because you shouldn't be hiding your weaknesses or pretending that they do not exist. Instead you should be confronting your weaknesses, because facing them head on is what will make you overcome them and prevent others from using them against you. The first step to overcoming your weaknesses is: Identifying and Admitting Your Weaknesses You cannot solve a problem, until you identify what these problems are. The same applies to

Unhealthy Competition Is A Dream Killer!

James Altucher Famously Said: "Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck" The need to compete with other people, is a profound trait of human beings. It doesn't matter your educational background, your status, family or upbringing. At some point in your life, you must have felt distressed and left behind by your mates. Being left behind must have given birth to the need to compete, to feel among, to belong. However, this need to compete with those around you, needs to to be checked. If it isn't it, will destroy everything you are or will ever be. First of all, it is of great import that you realise that you are a different person and your life is going to progr

HABITS THAT TARNISH YOUR IMAGE

Image
Swami Satchidananda famously: "If you do not pour water on your plant, what will happen? It will slowly wither and die. Our habits will also slowly wither and die away if we do not give them an opportunity to manifest. You need not fight to stop a habit. Just don’t give it an opportunity to repeat itself" Our habits are part of our identity it, it is what defines us, what makes us different from others, what makes us succeed or what makes us fail. Invariably, the type of habits we imbibe will determine if we are respected or disrespected. Habits are they defining quality that presupposes what other people think of us. Nevertheless, it is important to realise that what people think of you doesn't matter, because you can never satisfy human beings. But on the other hand, even though you may not give a damn about what they may say or think. It is pertinent that your Image is not destroyed or marred as a result of your habits or inadequacies. Thus, you have to prote
