So you have made an initial inventory of your dreams and desires. You have made sure that you really want these things and you have balanced the timelines...short term, mid term and long term.
You deserve some congratulations already. If you stopped right here and never did a bit more planning you would have already spent more time than the vast majority of college graduates ever invest in planning their lives and statistics would show that you will already, just based on this bit of planning, achieve vastly more of your dreams than others that have not invested just this minimal effort in themselves. So, again, congratulations! You are already closer to your dreams than you might know.
I want to follow this thought for just a line or two. For almost everyone I know, this is their planning cycle: New Years Eve, 5 minutes before midnight and whatever issues are bothering them the most, they resolve to change. They raise a toast, express a good intention, and never review this goal again until the next New Years Eve. And except for divine intervention or dumb luck, they almost never achieve their dreams.
They live in reaction to the world around them. They are told what to do and what to want by their bosses, friends, television and the Internet. Remember the old saying about "Most men live lives of quiet desperation"? I see this so often. I see it in television addicts, afraid to really look at their own lives, and so lost in the lives of others because their own lives are so painful and empty.
It doesn't have to be this way at all...and planning is the first best step to a much better and brighter future...designed by you...perfect for you...ultimately fulfilling for you...your highest and best destiny.
Bye for now...Jack
