Your Life Mapping-A Vision of Success
Dear Friends,
You need to understand that the path from where you are to where you want to be is not always smooth and straight. When you plan and prepare carefully, you can legitimately expect to have success in your efforts.
Planning for success is about mapping out all the aspects of your life. Similar to a map, you need to define the following details: origin, destination, vehicle, backpack, landmarks, and route.
The first appear in your map should be the origin, you need to know who you are.
A map has a starting point. Your origin is who you are right now.
Most people when asked to introduce themselves would say, “Hi, I’m John and I am a 17-year old, senior highschool student.” It does not tell you about who John is; it only tells you his present preoccupation.
To gain insights about yourself, you need to look closely at your beliefs, values, and principles aside from your economic, professional, cultural, and civil status. Moreover, you can also reflect on your experiences to give you insights on your good and not-so-good traits, skills, knowledge, strengths, and weaknesses.
Upon introspection, John realized that he was highly motivated, generous, service-oriented, but impatient. His inclination was in the biological-medical field.
So…review yoour origin now…I will cover Destination, Vehicle, Backpack, Landmarks, and Route in the next few posts.
Be patience!
