Plan and Prepare Diligently Before You Begin

In order to get the results you want (in every area of your life), you must desire to, plan to, and make the necessary effort to get it. You have to plan every step upward to your own high mountaintop, and it is worth mentioning that a good plan is like a road map: it shows the final destination and usually the best way to get there. Here are 25 key reasons why you should plan and prepare diligently before you begin taking steps toward your goals (in every area of your life): 1.     That's what the scripture says: "Write the vision; make it plain upon tablets so he may run who reads it…" — Habakkuk 2:2 (RSV) 2.    Courage and confidence to do what you've planned (in every area of your life) comes through practice. 3.     It helps you to prepare yourself psychologically in terms of resolve and discipline.

Your mind is like soil in a garden— it does not care what you plant— it will always nourish it.  Tak...
