What Does Your Life Look Like in 5 Years?
A long time ago I was watching a late-night infomercial on TV where Tony Robbins was hocking his cassette tape program on how to turn your life on a path to success. So I bought the program and one of the many things I got out of it was the idea of setting a 5 year plan for myself.
With the first day of the year 2014 only a few days away, a lot of people will be reflecting on the past year and thinking about the coming year. One thing you hear often is how quickly the year 2013 came and went. Some people feel overly stressed because nothing they wanted to get accomplished feels like it was accomplished.
Try the 5-year plan. 1 year is too short for most people to accomplish anything worthwhile. It takes time...
Get out a pen and paper (do not skip this step!) and write down what your life looks like in 5 years. The more detail the better - describe in as vivid a picture as you can - remember it's a snapshot of 5 years from now. Where are you? What are you doing? Who are you doing it with? What are you having the most fun doing? Interview yourself and write down the answers.... Be realistic!
I have been doing this for the past 25 years and I always have a 5 year plan I'm working on.
