Direct Your Life Part 5: Planning

You’ve now created a list of what you want in your life and narrowed that list to those items to which you are truly committed.

If you’re like most people I’ve worked with, once you have narrowed your wish list to a commitment list, you’re probably left with 3-5 entries. Make the commitment to do whatever is necessary to bring these 3-5 things to be. It begins with planning.

Write them down somewhere will you will see them every day. My suggestion would be a calendar or planner. Realize that certain things will take time. The key is to take incremental steps every day, week, or month to bring you closer. If you were in New York and I offered you $50 million to walk to San Francisco, it would be a long process, but if you took the necessary steps (literally) each day and followed through on your commitment, you would eventually get there. Apply this logic to each of your committed desires.
