The Power Of Planning - Things Don't "Fall In To Place"
I was talking to a friend who was telling me that he was going to let his business, his wedding, and future job "fall in to place." Can anyone tell me what that means? it sounds like lazy passivity to me.
There are some outside circumstances that we can't control. And I won't get in to it too much. But if you aren't planning to do anything (like succeed), then, you won't do anything. If you don't plan on and decide to do something, then you are leaving it up to it possibly happening.
Why would anything happen if you have not told your mind to do it? If you don't plan on doing something and make a decision to do a task, or complete a project, it won't happen because your mind doesn't know that it needs to do it, it knows to "maybe" do it. So many people will never get anything done because of this. They always need a manager, spouse, or whoever to stay on them to complete anything.
Also, make a schedule. When you have a schedule, it puts you under time constraints to get it done. Without the time constraints you are leaving it up to whenever to get it done.
I personally have the gift of being able to do this in my head, but I don't recommend it (I never had an assignment notebook or any of that growing up). But for you, put it in writing and set aside time to do that task, whatever it may be. Tell yourself to accomplish it, or your mind won't put it on the list of things to do. Be proactive because passivity will generally destroy many things in your life.
Have you ever tried to have a passive marriage, friendship, or business? If you have, its probably not a very good one (I speak from past experience as the former king of passivity). Initiate and do the thing you need to do.
