“SUCCESS IS 20% SKILL, 80% STRATEGY, YOU MIGHT KNOW HOW TO READ, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT'S YOUR PLAN TO READ?” - JIM ROHN
TREMENDOUS POWER EXISTS when you base yourself in the present moment. That moment in time where self awareness and mindfulness heightens your sense of the world around yourself. At the point where only that which matters is the NOW, your experience of this moment and what tasks you have set yourself to achieve...NOW.
Since the beginning of time sages, gurus, wisemen, shamans, yogi’s, monks have spoken in one way or another about existing in the present moment. Master your ability to concentrate all your energy and attention into a single point of , keep it there, and you will be raised high on the pyramid of life.
HOWEVER, WITHOUT PLANNING and an aspect of preparation, direction for the future, you will risk drifting to and fro on the uncertain waves, ebbs and flows of life.
If this is your goal then may you have a merry time at it and may you receive all the fortunes that life has to give…. You will find it much harder to implement pillars of structure in your life.
Planning has the effect as well of putting your CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS MIND to work by focusing your body’s senses, resources and energy into sensing, processing, assimilating and then interpreting certain information that relates to your goal.
“THE STRANGEST SECRET” - The ground breaking book by Self Help Author Earl Nightingale expresses
THERE IS NEVER the guarantee that a plan will work out. Or that once you begin to work towards a goal, that your plan will remain in place for very long at all. Circumstances change all the time. Heck if there is anything in this universe that remains constant… it's that there will always be change. The beautiful symphony of chaos and order, ever twisting and melding in a viscous dance of ever shifting energy.
AMONG THIS UNCERTAINTY, Why plan at all? Energy wasted on planning that could be used to take action, execute on your ideas, or otherwise be used to “enjoy life” “go with the flow” “take it as it comes”.
