Are You Planning or Just Dreaming?

When I was a child, I used to spend hours daydreaming about what my life would be like when I became an adult. Of course, at the time, I believed age 16 was the magic number. I thought that, as an adult, I would be able to do whatever I wanted to do. I could stay up as late as I wanted, eat a whole bowl of cake batter if I chose to, and definitely get a job and move into my own place.

I also had daydreams about who I would marry, how many children I would have (I already had the perfect names picked out), and the type of lifestyle I would enjoy. What an imagination I had!

As I grew into adulthood and began to experience life and all that comes with it, I realized that it takes more than daydreaming to have what you want in life. It takes diligence, patience, persistence, a good education (whether formal or the school of hard knocks), wisdom, and a great support network. But, most of all, it also takes a plan.

Unfortunately, too many of us go through life without a plan. Oh, sure, we have ideas in our heads, but we don’t take the time to transfer what’s in our heads to actually putting the ideas on paper. Why? Because we don’t really think it’s necessary. It’s as though we believe that if we let thoughts roll around in there long enough, we can make everything fall into place.

Well, to get what you want out of life, you need to be purposeful in your thoughts, decisions, and actions. Otherwise, you end up going in directions that take you totally off course. Many people spend years in careers or holding onto jobs that have nothing to do with where they really want to end up. They’ve set career goals, financial goals, and even relationship goals, but they haven’t actually planned how they will reach those goals.

My friends, that’s not good enough. Investigate some great goal-setting techniques and actually plan out your journey. Not everything will go according to your plan, but at least having written goals will help you stay on course. If you need help in doing this, that’s where I come in.

I help you improve your performance and enhance the quality of your life. In simple terms, I help  you to discover your vision, help set your goals, work with you to design a strategy to achieve those goals, hold you accountable for your actions, and then coach you to follow through. This partnership will result in a life transformation. I help get you unstuck so that your dreams can manifest.

If you want a better life, you don’t have to do this alone. Dreaming does not get the job done. A dream is meant to inspire, but it doesn’t yield results. Let’s get you started with a coaching program that meets you right where you are. Go to www.PathwayToDestinyCoaching.com for more information.
