Thoughts on Failing to Plan

by Ian Crossley

I think that you really must find out what it is you want in life. It will always be difficult going through life if you keep changing your goals or desires on a daily basis. What you want in the future does not have to be crystal clear straight away, but you should have a format of ideas and things that you would like to aspire to. If you have absolutely no idea of what you eventually want you will just wander around aimlessly forever. The funny thing is that once you focus on something all other things will align to make it happen. The reason you keep getting depressed is that the thing never has a chance to manifest, because you keep changing your mind, and the universe gets confused. Trust me the universe wants you to have ALL you desire, but it cannot get a grip on things if you do not know what you want.
You will learn that day to day life is about planning. The reason you have not got a job is that in your mind you have no idea what you are going to do. It does not matter what your plan is, as long as you have a plan. Having a plan is very relaxing because every decision you make is in the futherance of that idea. That means that when you make decisions you decide easily because you only have to say,"Do they fit in with my plan?"
Sometimes 'you' have to change a plan to make a decision. Do you see the problem here? Things are back to front and will never work out.
Remember the universe gives you more of what you concentrate on. If you have no plan, are depressed and feel sorry for yourself, that is exactly what you will attract.
However in a heartbeat, if you truly concentrate on what you want to do, the universe will immediately set things in motion to get you to your destination. The secret is that you MUST be firm in your desire and keep focusing. Everytime you change your mind the universe has to make adjustments and that will appear as things not happening.
Think of it as planting a seed. We plant it and know that it is growing although for the first few weeks we cannot see it. Eventually it pops through the surface and there is the brand new plant. That happens with out any effort from us because we just accept that is what happens. If we keep digging it up[ changing our mind ]to see if anything is happening, then everytime we dig it up, it stops growing and eventually it will die.
Imagine your plan as planting a seed and just trust that it will happen. The action you need to take on your part is the same as watering and fertilising the plant. How much you fertilise and water your plan, will determine how successful your plan will be. Your plan will still work as long as you really want it to, but without the fertiliser and water it will not be as good as it could be.
My suggestion to you is to sit down and really try and find what you want to do, because at this point you really need some motivation to create some positive energy. Once you have made a plan, any plan, things will immediately change.
Knowledge is the most valuable thing you can get, old age gives you knowlege in abundance. The unfortunate thing is that you cannot give it away. Unless someone asks for advice they are not listening.
