Studies have shown that defining success is the first step in achieving it. This means defining success for you, in your terms. People who don't have a personal definiton of success feel less successful and less satisfied in their lives. They also earn less money. If your life is not guided by a plan you create, it will be guided by a default plan, a plan created by your past conditioning and other's expectations of you.
Some people resist the idea of a plan for their lives because they think it's something rigid.
But having a plan is exactly what allows you to take advantage of serendipity, the unexpected, new opportunities. Your goals allow you to recognize and take advantage of the unexpected when it shows up in your life. To use any professional growth you've achieved, you must develop as a person. The Goals for Life Planning process will ask you questions, provide activities, invite reflection and result in a plan that you can adapt as you go through the year.
