Morning Motivator - What's Your Plan?

"Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just do things."
— the Joker in The Dark Knight

I really like this quote and have an ODD feeling that many of us live by this same mantra to one degree or another. If something unforeseen was to occur to you today, would you be ready to deal with it APPROPRIATELY? Or are you flying blind in the dark without instruments?

Admittedly, I am not someone that stays up at night PLANNING all my next moves. I have an end GOAL, a plan to make my next IMMEDIATE step and a GENERAL idea of what additional steps are involved. Do you have a CLEAR vision of what your path is? If someone were to ask you today... "where do you want to be in 3 years?" would you be able to answer that question CLEARLY? If not, how do you EXPECT to know when the right time to make a move towards your DREAM is upon you?

We are all CHALLENGED with becoming IDLE in our lives. Often we overlook our DREAMS or decide to DELAY them because we grow complacent. We HESITATE to take the risk we need to in order to give ourselves the OPPORTUNITY to live out the visions of success we have in our minds. We allow FEAR to paralyze us from the BLISS of experiencing the excitement of chasing our dreams and actually CATCHING THEM! What is YOUR plan? What will you do when the OPPORTUNITY to take action comes upon you?

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
I believe in ACTION and know that you can PLAN yourself to death. However, having a PLAN, in some sense, is critical to creating an AWARENESS that allows you the ability to SEE the opportunity you are seeking.

Sometimes the opportunity is painful at first, yet you find that you are able to rise from it STRONGER and more FOCUSED than before. Don't be AFRAID to create your plan... at least in the first few steps... then be WILLING to take action when the time is right!

You don't want to look back and wish you had taken the time to make your DREAMS COME TRUE!

Cheers,
Zach
