Plan to achieve your big goals in life

Last week we talked about enlarging your life’s big goals.
Today we’ll talk about the vital role that planning plays.
Saturday, Mark and I drove to Shaw Air Force Base.
Base personnel stage a large air show every other year.
This year they had a new F22 to demonstrate.
This is the most advanced fighter jet in the world.
USAF Sgt. Holly Brown took good care of us.
She arranged an interview with Major Paul Moga.
We watched Paul fly the F22 straight up without stalling.
Paul said he knew he wanted to join the military.
His brother was graduated from West Point and flies Apaches.
Paul sought and won an Air Force Academy appointment.
Now he’s 13 years into the career of his dreams.
Are you achieving the career of your dreams? If not, why not?
Don’t let anything hold you back. But it takes planning.
You know my big goal: Raise $200 million to conquer illiteracy.
What’s your big goal? What are your other goals?
Write them out. Tape them beside your computer.
Post them where you will see them every day. Check them off.
It will give you a sense of achievement and spur you on.
But you must discipline yourself to do it — every day.

Tomorrow we’ll talk about the importance of self-discipline.
