#108 - Living Forward (Chp 2 - Understand the Mission)

In this episode, we talk about understanding what a Life Plan is:

Characteristics of a Life Plan:

1. It is created by you and for you.  A Life Plan has to flow from your heart. It is created by you and for you
2. It describes how you want to be remembered. A life plan doesn’t leave anything to chance. You can be intentional about how you want to be remembered
3. It articulates your personal priorities. A life plan gives you the chance to create a vision for yourself that is separate from what your family or others want from you
4. It provides specific actions necessary to take you from where you are to where you want to be in every major area of your life
5. It is a document that you can tweak and adjust when necessary. A Life Plan is flexible and it is a manifestation of an ongoing process

When faced with a negative situation, ask:

“What does this experience make possible?”

Your attention will move from the past which you can’t do anything about to the future

When formulating your Life Plan ask three important questions:

1. How Do I want to be remembered?
2. What matters the most?
3. How can I get from here to where I want to be?
