This is a follow up from the previous post about developing a personal life plan. This has been one of the most exciting steps I have ever taken. Too many times we try to wrap life around our work. A life plan will cause you to plan work around your life. It shows you what you value and how big of a gap there is with the life you are currently living.
Creating a life plan can be one of the most inspiring and rewarding things that you could ever do. It is much more than just goal setting. Goal setting is only one part or section of a life plan. We are talking about having a game plan for life. Most people get excited about setting a few goals at the beginning of every year. The problem is that before February ever arrives those same goals are abandoned. One of the reasons is the Habit Gravity that you have to face whenever you are starting a new habit. I spoke about that in an earlier post. There is a tremendous force that you are up against anytime you start a new habit. But if you embrace the struggle you will get to the top of the hill soon enough and the new habit gets much easier and momentum begins to be your friend.
