Create Time For Your LIFE PLAN!

Plan

Have you written a business plan before? Perhaps-you've written a travel itinerary? Or perhaps you have planned a big event in your life like a 21st birthday party or a wedding? Maybe you think just keeping a diary is all you need to plan your time! 

Well may I suggest that as well as the above.... We all need a Create Time For Our Life-Plan!! 

... If you want to create the kind of life that surpasses your craziest expectations then creating a life plan is the only way to success!! 

Get to know yourself 

Make a point of finding out your strengths and weaknesses, your core values and your beliefs...



What is your vision?

You've got to plan the route you're going to take or you may just find yourself going round in a big circle back to square one! 

Soooo...... Create Time For Your Life and think about what inspires you...about how you can help the world....be it designing something, mentoring people or using your marketing skills to help businesses... lets face it...every kind of career actually helps someone somewhere at some point down the line.... 

Create an empowering vision statement..This vision is the very heart of what you want to accomplish.. Where do you see yourself in six months, six years or even 16 years? Be brave and bold!!! Make a decision on how you want your life to map out! 

Is Your Cup Half Full or Half Empty? 

Do you see obstacles as huge problems to getting what you want or are you able to view them as challenges that you can enjoy overcoming? Make a promise to develop an optimistic mentality that everything has a solution! 

As you are creating your Life Plan, make sure you acknowledge that there will be challenges along the way and commit to facing them with good humour, good faith and nerves of steel!! 

Set Your Targets 

 Just like in a business plan ,you have to set targets. In order to achieve the things you want from life, you need daily, weekly and monthly targets...  But unlike in business, these targets should cover all aspects of your life.....your mind...your body and your soul

When you are Creating Time For Your Life-Plan , do so with confidence and passion but keep in mind that you are aiming to keep a balance in your life.. Try to avoid letting any one area consume you! Remember that in order to perform at your very best, you need to take time for rest and rejuvenation.... 

Therefore...when you write your goals, not only focus on what you will do to pursue your passions and your visions but think about how you will tend to your health, both physical and mental

Teamwork... 

 In order to Create Time For Your Purpose-Driven Vision of Your Life.....,acknowledge that this can’t be done alone.  You need to reach out to the the world around you.  Leaders have the ability to inspire great things from those around them and part of a good life plan will include who you want to spend your time with and how you will inspire them.   For each element of your plan, you will need to attract a certain person, or group of people; They will help you take your vision to the next level. 

Evaluate 

 A great life plan, just like a great business plan, will have built-in evaluation processes.  How will you know if you are on the right track to fulfilling your vision, if you don’t take time to stop and reflect on what you have accomplished? 

 Celebrate the successes along the way and make sure that you are always keeping on track to your ultimate plan! 

 Create Time For Your Life now and use these tools to create a plan for your life. Only when it is written out will you be on your way to creating life the way you always dreamed of!!!

Have You Forgotten How Wise You Were as a Baby?


A friend has just had a baby daughter....another has one on the way...Visiting the new born last week with my own grown up daughter....It made me think again about the whole baby experience once more!!  
Don t you agree we can all learn from little babies.....when a new baby comes into your life...whether it s your own, or the child of  a relative or a friend....there is no doubt that it tugs at the strings of  our emotions and feelings...However , if we look at babies objectively, I think you will see that babies can also be a source of great inspiration..  Actually....they can be a great source of motivation  to us if we watch them carefully.
Soooo... what observations did I make?
Happiness
Just look at the care free activities of a baby.  A baby gets right into its own little world of happiness.  That s because they are so full of innocence!!  Adults on the other hand overload themselves with knowledge and information......
Do you think it s possible to switch off the antenna for a while and just experience happiness in innocent ways....
Thirst for Knowledge
Babies are fascinated by everything....they are desperate to understand how things work and explore their small world around them.  They can interpret lip movements, learn languages and understand mannerisms...all this at weeks old...
Don't you agree that we as adults could do with digging up some of that natural curiosity...let s face it...we still have all the necessary tools within ourselves to learn more about our world...to learn new languages and to learn new skills.
Live life in the Now!
A baby doesn't worry about  yesterday or plan for tomorrow..  So why when we grow up do we get caught up in our past and worry about our future? 

Soo....Make the most of today!!
Try, Try and Try Again!!
A young baby will try to crawl..However, when it fails the first time, does it give up and get back in the pram?  No! It keeps going until it succeeds.The same with learning to stand and finally learning to walk.  They might cry for help but they keep on going...and oh the sense of achievement you can see in their eyes when they finally succeed!!
So no more running away from challenges! No more looking for  the easy option all the time!  Get inspired and realize your goals by try, try and trying again!!.
Forgive and Forget
A baby never harbors any resentment...If you show them impatience due to lack of sleep...Do they turn their back on you and not communicate for a few days? No!  The next time you are feeding them at four in the morning they are smiling at you full of love and adoration!!
Get back that great baby love!!  Have an open heart.  Consciously ignore minor mistakes of others and give them a chance to correct and excel!!  Wouldn't you agree that when we help others grow, we grow even more? 
Have Trust!
Babies are 100% trusting...They are  fearless; they know that you are always there for them.. When you throw them up in the air for play, they laugh instead of crying. 
So.....if you trust someone, make it 100%. No half way measures!! Complete trust creates wonderful and long lasting relationships. 
 Where s that belly laugh gone?
Get inspiration from babies from the way they laugh when they  feel great. They laugh from  their heart.
 Soooo.......Look for the funny side in everything....and laugh and relieve stress!
 Unconditional love 
A baby loves its parents unconditionally.........
Sooo... when that little baby reaches its teenage years....... remind yourself of the example it set you and follow its lead!!
