Have you planned few coming years of your future? There is one of my friend's who have planned his future for his coming 30 years, and i must say he really has some strategies behind that as he displayed them in front of us one day they sound to me of such a planned man, i cannot just plan my days work and just end breaking them. do you plan things before doing? if yes how to get that habit?

it is nice to plan stuff, but the unknown is hard to plan for. if not for the unknown, i believe everyone would be millionaires by the age of 35. but being flexible during the unknown is what precisely makes the rich richer.

Everyday is a new day. Maybe there is something you want to do today in the future and when it comes right down to it, you don't want to. I think everyone should live everyday like it's their last and live everyday to the fullest. I can't plan my future, because things change. Plus you never know what the future has in store for us all.

If it's only for the week routine i can still plan it, though sometimes it might have changes since we cant have the same mood every time and we dont own the time. Its hard to plan ahead for the future. Just months ago, i was so much in love with my ex and we planned to marry this coming june, with the ring and everything.Friends knew about it already so with my family, but there was a sudden change that happened,he left because he told me the relationship is not healhty for him because he was so much in love with me that he couldnt think right, couldnt eat, and work. I was hurt of course but i had to accept it. Now im happy with my new bf. And that ex of mine is struggling so hard now to win me back for the june wedding, but no thanks.See? we can never tell what lies ahead.

No I don't plan on the future anymore then throwing a birthday party for my kids. Plans normally don't work out the way they are supposed to. It's a good idea to think ahead about what you want to do but I would say 9 times out of 10 something is going to completely turn that plan around. Life is about surprises and new beginnings not making plans.

i guess we all have plans.. but we will never know what tomorrow may bring.. it would be good if we can see our plans be realized but it would be better if we enjoy what we have now and be thanks ful for the things that we had...

I'm not really an organized person when it comes to planning my schedule for weeks, months much so for years to come. I usually take a day as it came. Although what I have are goals and time frames which I follow. But I am very much flexible about change. I envy those people who have already planned their lives ahead of them. Maybe I'm just not that type of person. I love to enjoy and savor each as moments I have than to run and make sure my plans has been done as planned.

Hi there Archie0 I try to make plans but it also sometimes never goes the way we would like it to go. I mean I have many goals I want to do with my life but sometimes other things come up and I cannot get everything done. Some of my goals for this year is to earn more from being online, get a nice used car or a brand new! I am working on that now. I have no car at the moment so I would say that is my first goal. I feel like I have different kind of goals too. Like I have my internet goals, personal weight goals, goals about my girls, etc. To me they all fit in different places but at some point they are all connected too! When I make goals I usually write them down and than look at them later to see what I have I done to achieve this goal. This helps me a great deal and if there is something that I am lacking in than i work on it more than another goal so I can accomplish it and move onto the next one. Thanks for this discussion and happy mylotting to you.

I have an idea somewhat of what I do for today. And I do make goals for myself that I would hope to achieve in a month, day, or a week. And yes, I do have somewhat of an idea of how my life will go as the years go on, or how I would somewhat like it to go. But really, over all, I also believe that tomarrow is not promised to me. All of the planning I can do will not stop my life from happening. I do believe that I have control over my life to a certian exctent. Like a captin of a vessel, I can use the wind and aim the sails, but the wind will blow where it will. And have to make do and use it to the best of my advantage.

Planned future! No. I have never planned my future for if I plan one thing today need to alter tomorrow for this or that reason. So now plan for the day or most for a week and not beyond that. Life is just going on and let it go this way.

Well, I do not have any long-term strategies for my future as such but I do feel that a planned future is a key to success. Because unless someone is focused towards his goal and makes plans to achieve that, it's quite difficult to be succeeded in life. So, I think that everyone should have a planned future. But I don't know how to get that habit. So, I can't help you..lolz.. For the time being my plan for future is to clear CAT.

I have no clear plan for my future, but I am going to make one of myself. My hubby always ask me to write a plan, but I never think it is neccessary, but after I saw how a plan would help a person to do things in schedule, and it could keep track on progress. So I think I would learn how to make myself a plan in coming 2 months. Happy myLotting:))
