The word of the day is strategy.
“People don’t plan to fail, they just fail to plan.”
Everyone needs a strategy for life. No matter what it is you are trying to accomplish in your life, you need a strategy. A dream remains a dream until you have a strategy in place to make it become a reality.
Now I have to admit something here. I am a wing-it junky concerning a lot of things. Okay, there I said it. I realize that I leave a lot of things to chance, compared to my wife Starla who is a meticulous planner. We drive each other crazy. My lack of attention to details annoys her like the drill of a dentist. Her attention to details grinds on me like fingernails on a chalkboard. I think you get the picture. But we love each other completely.
I have never lacked vision for the Big Picture. It’s the little steps to get there that cause me frustration. Starla is great with the “steps.”
Every marriage, every family, every individual and every business needs a strategy to succeed. Don’t run through life just hoping things will work out. Have a strategy for success.
Here’s a great place to start.
- Know what you want.
- Write it down.
- Create a plan (strategy)
- Work on it daily.
Proverbs 16:3 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
