“If were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable/predictable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.” Ann Landers

It’s happened to everyone who has a goal. You decide what you want, develop a plan, take the first step, and then the unexpected happens.

 

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Michael Jordan

 

“What saved us over and over was our willingness to recognize what wasn’t working and quickly identify a new way of looking at it. By remaining flexible and open to creative solutions, the results have been miraculous.” Anita Roddick

“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.” Margaret Thatcher

“The truth is that the average ‘bottom-of-the-ladder’ person is potentially as creative as the top executive who sits in the big office.

“We weren’t promised a bed of roses,”  “and the sun always shines after the rain.”

 

“Things don’t just happen. You have to make them happen and you can count on nothing working out exactly as planned. By working hard and creatively looking for solutions, you will find your way around all of life’s obstacles.” Eula Hall

 

Ask ourselves the following question: “What can I do, with what I have, to get what I want?”

 

Your Personal Action Plan: Tapping Your Creativity

 

Pursuing a goal is a constantly evolving process. No one who has ever followed a dream has taken a direct, unobstructed path and arrived at his or her destination effortlessly and on time. Following a dream is not a direct highway but a bumpy road full of twists and turns and occasional roadblocks. The journey requires modifications and adjustments in both thought and action, not just once, but over and over. And that means you must be flexible and creative.

The average individual has no real plan for his or her future. He or she may have fantasies and even hopes, but not plans.

 

“There is no sudden leap into the stratosphere. There is only advancing step by step, slowly and tortuously, up the pyramid toward your goals.” Ben Stein

 

“I’ve always had a vision to do bigger and better things. Not just for myself, but for my family and community. I know you don’t do it all at once. It takes planning and preparation to get big things done, and I was willing to spend fifteen years preparing myself for the challenge. Lee Dunham

Your Personal Action Plan : Preparing for Your Future

 

Most people have no plan for their lives. Many have an idea that they’ll work a certain number of years, then retire. Some may have fantasies and hopes, but they do not have plans. Instead, they respond to what life brings according to the needs of the day. People may have innovative ideas but then might scrutinize them over and over until they find all the reasons why their ideas will not work.

 

The following steps will help you prepare your personal plan of action.

Step 1: Identify the Desired Result

The first step in designing a plan is to look ahead at the end result you envision. By developing clear vision of what you ultimately want to achieve, it will be easier to identify the steps to get there.

 

Action: Write a clear and concise/brief statement of specifically what you want to accomplish and by what date. Make sure the statement is consistent with your purpose and passion.

 

Step 2:  Determine the Skills You’ll Need

Unstoppable people are willing to become students. They exert the energy and make the sacrifices necessary to educate themselves and to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to fulfill their dreams.  Many people take training or pursue new job to broaden their experience and knowledge. Without exception, you must have an unwavering/firm commitment to do whatever is necessary to become fully prepared for the tasks ahead.
