Formulating a “Life Plan” is a
tricky one. Initially, I thought it’s going to be easy as I have already my
short-term to medium-term goals already set in my mind and it is already in
action (I’m already starting my mba studies). However, when I wrote it down and
break it down to different priorities it suddenly became a little bit tricky
and difficult.
I googled it up just to find
something that can perhaps help me in creating my own “Life Plan.” Walla, a
dozen results came up with different “funeral plans.” Good thing, out of the
dozen, one came up from www.forbes.com. It
did not only provide a guide on how to write one, however, it also tells what
the purpose of having one in place is. According to the site, “when we we’re
growing up, we were taught that life can be predictable.” When you study hard,
you will have your dream job, be happy, and become successful. However, this is
not entirely true even for those who are already happy and in their dream job.
Truthfully speaking, I completely agree with this as in real life there are
always unpredictable things that happen. Furthermore, I believe our lives are
not drawn on a straight line; every now and then, we make turns we did not want
to make and sometimes even a u-turn. When this happens, rather than picturing
our goals in our head, it is more ideal to have a written plan, a “Life Plan,”
in order for us to remain focused and be clear sighted towards achieving our
goals.
