What’s my plan?
It’s a simple question. For some people it’s incredibly intimidating and others just something that’s not even considered. In our 20′s, it’s easy to just cruise. We can hit auto-pilot and fly through ten years of life then realize all of the sudden it’s time to do something. This is a challenge and a problem we need to figure out sooner then later. We have so much to offer to just let time slip by like that.
Here’s why.
As 20somethings, we have some of the most valuable resources at our finger tips then possibly any other stage of life. I know that might sound crazy, but I really believe it’s true. You might think that you don’t have any money or any experience but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about time, passion, options, energy. These are four things that we have in our 20′s that we need to take a hold of and make a plan. They are also the very things that can distract us from making a plan.
The importance of a plan is simple. If we don’t create any direction or goals we won’t go anywhere. I know I’ve fallen for the idea of waiting till 30 for things to happen. But, that’s not the case. What we do in our 20′s will lay the ground work for the rest of our life. So, don’t you think it’s important more then ever to have a plan? Don’t let it slip by.
What does it look like?
A plan can be simple. It can be complex. It probably depends on who you are and what you are passionate about. It really should be made of goals that can be broken down into short term steps. The trick with creating a plan is finding what works for you. It should help you move along with purpose.
We’d love to hear from you. What’s the next thing you can do that will move you towards your plan? It can be a simple step. Let us know what struggles you have with making a plan.
