Grand plans can seem intimidating and way out of reach.
Their sheer size can make us quit before we even get started. However the sages
made us understand many moons ago that a journey of a thousand miles begins
with one step. The best thing you can do for yourself is to breakdown your plan
into daily, weekly, monthly blocks or whatever other duration makes the most
sense to you. Once you have done this, you are ready to go. Surely it doesn’t
matter how grand your plan is, there is an element of it you can start working
on today. Focus on that element and build it up from there. When it is broken
down it gives you the requisite momentum to keep going. And you don’t know what
a little momentum can get you doing. The beauty of small steps is that they
give you small victories to celebrate along the way. Seek to find happiness in
the journey and not just the destination. The joy is in the journey and all its
intrigues.
The question you must ask at this stage is what about my
grand plan is in my power to do today? What mini goals can I tackle this week
that would contribute to the ultimate goal? Daily victories are what you should
go for as long as they tally with your overall goals and values.
It is important to decide everyday how you are going to show
up for your dreams. Choose to take time to map out your short term goals and
how you going to go about them. Grant Cardone says if your goals are important,
you write them down every day not just once a year then you forget. When they
are ever before you, they keep you on your toes and you realize that time is
passing by and I need to do the needful so that I am not left behind.
As humans, we like our change coming in small doses.
Evolutions are more palatable than revolutions. Because of this, you need to
break down your plan to give yourself a chance at evolutionary progress which
is more agreeable for you and a majority of us. Your grand plan is
revolutionary and as such it can become intimidating to pursue. You need the
breakdown to stay sane and grounded. You need to progress sustainably so that
you are not shooting in one hundred directions at the same time with little to
no tangible impact.
