If you’re going to change an area of your life in 2015, then you must have a strategic plan to do so. The last couple weeks, I’ve been talking about what it takes to cause change in your life. There are some important foundations that you must have in place in order to cause change.
- You must have positive influencers that will cause you to think differently about your life and what you are capable of doing.
- You must change your thoughts.
Once you start changing those two foundations, your influencers and your thoughts, then you need an actual plan to implement. The problem with many New Year Resolutions is that they are vague wishes. Instead, of vague wishes you need specific, defined, exciting, and empowering goals. The reason for this is that if you aim at nothing, you’ll hit nothing each time. So, aim (set a goal) of something specific.
Here is a link on how to set SMART goals. However, goals for some people tend to be boring and a bit depressing. So, you need to imagine your future to become excited and motivated to achieve your goal. Here is a link on how to create exciting goals.
This year, 2015, do these to change your life:
- Implement your specific plan
- Practice disciplined Intentionality to DO your plan
- Schedule your plan to work diligently on it
- Change your influencers
- Change your thoughts
