Course Corrections

Along with my regular routine for the past couple of days I’ve been using my mind map software and brainstorming. Part of having a purpose is developing a plan in order to accomplish said purpose. I’ve been implementing the plan I developed over two years ago but along the way changes have to be made. Some items have been completed others have changed entirely. So for the last couple of days I’ve been making the needed amendments to my plan.

Farmers don’t simply throw seeds on the ground and hope they grow. They prep the land. They till the land and prepare the soil for the seeds. Life is similar. A purpose alone has not been enough. A plan(proper or not) is needed. The purpose will dictate its fulfillment yet without some direction, there’s no way to continue along the route. A long journey is wrought with course corrections. A ship’s captain doesn’t set sail and never make a course correction. There will be obstacles to be avoided. Storms will appear in the horizon. Currents will change, as will the wind.

Develop your plan, then revisit to insure it’s still relevant and effective for this phase of the journey.

Today, Saturday, August 31, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’m living a purpose driven life. For decades I didn’t. This way of life is much more fulfilling compared to the other.

I’m working with a plan. I’ve spent years living and working without a plan. Just going with the flow and doing what comes next. Years ago someone said something to the effect, “Either you have a plan or you live your life working to fulfill someone else’s.” Others will help fulfill my plan. I’m done working to fulfill the plan of others.

As I accomplish items as part of my plan, I’m able to revisit/reevaluate my plan and make any course corrections needed. It’s a great thing to have a plan, move towards a goal and revisit said goal to make other items manifest.

Make Your Course Corrections. Be Impactful!
