Without a plan, it is hard to show G-d that you are seriously committed to change in the future. The first step in making a plan is to determine goals and how to implement them. Here's a 15 minute exercise for getting in touch with what you really want out of life. Now take two minutes and write down whatever you can think of. Make your list as all-inclusive as you can.
Many people have unconscious goals and wishes that are buried deep in their personality.
But they avoid thinking about them because they don't believe it's possible to ever achieve them. By doing this exercise, these ideas will rise to the surface. Then write these three in order of priority. Brainstorm different ways of overcoming those obstacles that prevent you from getting where you want to go. Every company has a plan with directions, dates and deadlines for each step in their future.
