Planning To Succeed

"When You Fail to Plan, You Plan to Fail"

My entire journey is dependent upon how well I adhere to this one simple quote. If I fail to plan, I might as well surrender to defeat. I am so guilty of not having a plan. I can plan for everything in Life but I have so much trouble planning for Life. Seems crazy when you really think about it. I am the type of person that will mapquest directions a week before I have to be to a particular place; yet I don't know what I am going to eat from one meal to the next. I can plan a Phabolous party, organize closets, and form associations but for the life of me can not sit down and put together a workout plan and follow it through. But that vicious cycle of setting myself up to fail ends today.

I'm pulling out my Vision Board! Yes pulling it out because I had hid it, tucked it away in the back of a closet because the old me allowed a man to come in and scructinize my dreams and tell me they were impossible. The old me believed him and foolishly put my dreams on the back burner to help him persue his. But as many of you already know he is gone and has been replaced by HIM! OH JOY! JOY! JOY! And HE is not afraid of my Success!!! He encourages it, welcomes it and enables me to have it....Oh JOY! JOY! JOY! Don't get me started!

I spent most of the night cutting out pictures and words, anything that has to do with my transition, my success and my journey. When it was all said and done I realized I was going to have purchase a couple more Vision Boards. Perhaps I'll do one for every room in my house. Every clear surface needs to be covered with my vision. Every mirror, every desk top, even the dashboard of my car....whatever it takes. I plan to surround myself with images of my vision. The only difference this time is that Beside each Vision Board there will be a list of Objectives. A To Do List of things that need to be accomplished TODAY, THIS WEEK, THIS MONTH! Who do I need to call or see in order to set things into motion? What to I need to do or undo to get the ball rolling? WRITE IT DOWN, DO IT , CHECK IT OFF AND THEN REPLACE IT with something else that needs to be done in order for my Dreams to come into fruition. If HE is doing His part and He is (always has), I have to do my part.

To Do List

 1. Complete Vision Boards & List of Objectives

Don't mind me...I'm just Planning to Succeed! I encourage all of you to do the same. Caution! Beware of Dream Seekers. They come in many different shapes and forms (friends, spouses, sisters etc.). Don't allow their negativity to detour your journey and keep you from your dreams. Remember everyone isn't meant for this journey. Some people will have to be left behind, You just Keep Moving!
