BY FAILING TO PLAN, YOU ARE PLANNING TO FAIL.
No one actually plans deliberately to fail. No one decides in advance to live a life of underachievement and frustration, but by failing ton decide exactly what you want, you end up living unconsciously and unintentionally by the law of accident. Then, what happens to you in life will appear to be a series of random occurrences over which you have little control.
To show how prevalent this attitude is, in a recent survey, 63 percent of respondent said that they believe that the only way they were going to be able to retire financial independent was if they won a lottery of some kind. This means that majority of people think that their financial lives are simply a great gamble in which they exert very little control. They are living by accident.
People who live by the law of accident tend to be negative, pessimistic, and helpless and feel as though they have little control over their lives people living under the shadows of the law of accident blame others for their problems. They continually make excuses, perform well bellow their potentials, and indulge in various form of escapism, such as endless television watching, alcohol, drugs, and aimless socializing.
The wonderful thing about goal is that the very act of setting goals free you from living under the law of accident and puts you squarely under the law of control and under the law of cause and effect. The setting of goals gives you a feeling of power, purpose and forward direction. Goal setting puts you in charge of your life and makes you feel terrific about yourself.
This is why goal setting is called the โmaster skill of success. It is the one skill that is probably more important to your overall happiness and well-being than any other skill that you can develop. It puts you in the driverโs seat.
