At the beginning of the year we don’t know what lies ahead for us. But, we all have the power to influence how our life unfolds by being conscience of what we want and if what we are doing (or not doing) is likely to help us get where we want to be. But, we must first have a vision of what we want and have a plan to make that vision a reality. But like any destination, there is more than one way to get there and whether we get where we want to be can depend on our ability to adjust as necessary as life throws us curves or presents us with opportunities. An American clergyman, John C. Maxwell, summed this up quite nicely when he said:
“Visions don’t change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.”
