How much strategic you need to?

Are you a strategic thinker? Are you strategic? Are you strategic enough? Are you overindulging on strategy? Do you change your strategy frequently?

Are you good at implementing your strategy? Do you have enough patience to see the results of implementation of your strategy? Can you make things operational in a way that strategy gets implemented smoothly? Do you often see the fruits of your plan or desire?

Many people focus on their strategy to make reality of their dream or desire or purpose. Nothing wrong in that. Problem is, they too often change their strategy. Or, worse, they never focus on their strategy implementation in the first place. It's important to have dream or purpose or desire to do something you like to do. It's also important that you have your strategy. The most important part is to implement your strategy to see the reality of your purpose or desire or dream once you set your strategy. This is hard part! You need consistent focus and effort to make it happen. You need to accept failure! You need to retry something in the journey! You need to give your sweat (if not blood) at the least! You need to learn accepting rejection from others or the people you thought you'd get support! You may need to readjust your efforts both for strategy and strategy implementation since the world around you are continuously evolving. It's okay to adjust or readjust yourself and your efforts or plans to make your dream a reality.

Unless you are a good at implementation of anything, you are likely to fail in everything you dream. Strategy itself won't be useful no matter how great your strategy is. So learn how to be good at implementation. Learn to be a project manager. Learn to treat your project or plan for action as your child. You know a mother does almost everything she can do for her child and she does not complain. She is happy to take all the pains for her child's happiness. You also needs to be good at implementing your strategy to see the fruits of your dream or purpose.

Many, after putting some efforts for implementation of their strategy, tend to change their strategy, without thinking whether they put enough efforts to implement it. They think they have taken wrong strategy. They probably haven't! They take new strategy or they think their dreams are not doable or actionable. It's easy to take new strategy. So people tend to change strategy one after another since changing strategy requires way less efforts that implementing any strategy.

Usually you do not need to be strategic all the time. Rather you need to be smart implementer almost all the time. Surely, you can argue this since all the situations are not same. Critical matter is to find your sweet point on how much strategic and how much implementer you need to be! Of course, this sweet point widely vary on the context and your situation.

Please reflect whether you are finding your sweet point to make your dream a reality.
