Great Morning Son,
It’s another bright and beautiful day here and I certainly hope it’s the same there!
Do you have big plans for the week? How about for the coming weekend ahead?
Having plans is always a great idea because it gives you something to look forward to. I suppose you could say that the first step to “moving forward” is “looking forward”. Anticipating the progress you will make and the feeling you get will from moving forward pulls you towards your goals and dreams etc.
I hear a lot of people who are down on planning anything in general. They believe that planning limits their freedom. The fact is, planning expands your freedom as it gives you a framework to eliminate guesswork. Without planning, you’re never truly free, as you will always be a slave to indecision and directionless motion (spinning your wheels).
I also hear a lot of people who are down on planning saying that planning restricts their flexibility. Sometimes I have to think that what they’re really saying is that, “planning keeps me from being able to change my mind”. That simply isn’t true, just because you plan something, doesn’t mean that you give up the flexibility to alter parts of the plan when necessary.
Planning puts you more in the driver seat and gives you more control over your own life. Typically, either you create your own plans or you become part of someone else’s plan.
Well, that’s all for now!
Have an amazing day and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Dad
