Writing a Personal philosophy and Mapping Your Goals

A desire without a plan is plainly a wish, but a desire with a definite plan becomes the foundation for success. arrival up with a plan can be a daunting task. It starts with arrival up with a personal religious doctrine on life and the things we value. How can you come up with any kind of plan, if you don't have a vision of what you want to accomplish? Furthermore, how can you come up with a vision if you don't know what kind of values and fundamentals you want to represent in that vision. The following describes a plan of action that will assist you in arrival up with a personal plan and religious doctrine to help guide your life.

Open up a Word document, Excel, Power Point, or plainly pull out a note pad and pen (you have to write it out, its important). Write down what you value in life (love, happiness, compassion, honesty, ect). Now take those qualities and generate a vision for yourself. Mentally paint a photo in your mind of what a future that embodies your Values and write them out. Vividly tell the ideal, don't plainly think I would like a nice house, pick an exact house you want to live in, the area, the city, down to the style of tile you want in your kitchen. Take a photo of what you want and put it on your paper, pictures serve as a great optic guide and are stored in your subconscious waiting for fulfillment.

Now take time to write about both your Values and your Vision. The great thing is this is a personal document, while it should be unique, you are allowed to jot down ideas from other sources. Take your popular quotes and insert them into this document. I personally have about three pages written on the subject of personal attitude. Some ideas about attitude I found from books I have read and others are my own. You are allowed to put anyone you want in the document it is your creation.

By establishing your values, you generate a beginning. By creating a vision based upon those values you generate your goals. The goals should stem from your vision. Here is an example (a rather materialistic one) that puts it all together. Let's say you value wealth, expert esteem, and a position of power. From there imagine yourself at a definite point in the future living (47 years old) a life that compliments these values. For example you may see yourself owning a jet for personal and firm use. Your vision vividly describes a few goals. First, will need financial resources to buy the jet.

1. Goal: Have ,000,000 in the bank by age 47, by investing a unavoidable number monthly and earning a huge salary.

Next vision, you see yourself in payment of a large firm influencing many habitancy and important them into success. You will need to climb your way up the corporate ladder to secure our next goal.

2. Goal: become Ceo of Xyz firm by the age 42.

These two goals should adequately satisfy our materialistic friend. However, you can see how these goals can actually generate a range of sub goals, starting to form a strategy map. For example, achieving the ,000,000 may take investing a unavoidable number of money each month as well as obtaining a unavoidable cash flow.

Achieving your goals should not be left up to turn or luck, the foundation starting with forming a personal philosophy. Start today.
