How important do you believe it is to think about and visualize your future life?
How important would it be to you if your cab driver wandered all over town, never getting anywhere but using up all your money and time?
If you have no intention, or goal, one thing is absolutely sure. You will never get there.
Sure you will get somewhere, but where? In our busy lives it can be so difficult to find the time to do this planning. We spend so much time planning our vacation, but so little time planning our lives! Can you set aside some time to make this happen?
As you go through this process, try to see your self in five, ten and even twenty years. Twenty years sure seems lie a long time.
Look back twenty years. How long was it? Yes, me too.
I have not planned very well for the future. I am changing that now. Part of the reason is our children. Part of the reason is I see our parents in their 70s and 80s living on their social security. I do not want to be waiting every month for my check to come in the mail.
It is not only the financial side. In fact that is not the most important part. I have dreams, really big dreams, and I need help reaching them. That help comes when you have a clear destination. The more clear you are, the more help you will receive.
How much help are you going to get? How clear on you where you are going?

Quotation of the Week
The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get. -Jim Rohn
