Planning

• In any endeavor we take on, we always need a
  plan. (example wedding plans, party plans,
  financial plans, housing plans, etc.)
• Planning helps us visualize the results we want
  and each step we need to take in order to get us
  there.
• Plans serve as our guide roadmap to help us
  utilize our resources efficiently effectively.

4
How do you make a plan?

• Start with a Mission Vision statement.
• A mission statement is a concise statement of
  your life purpose or your reason for existence.
• A vision statement tells you how to accomplish
  your mission. It serves as a lighthouse or
  compass, guiding you in the right direction. It
  measures your progress, helps you set your goals
  and establish your priorities.

Example of a Mission statement

• My ultimate purpose in life is to live my life
  well, by knowing, loving and serving my Creator,
  so that I can meet Him at the end of my life.
  This I can achieve by doing Gods will and
  following His design for me.
• I will be a good wife to my husband, attending to
  his daily needs, making sure that he always looks
  forward to being home and spending time with his
  family. I will be a good mom to my children,
  involving myself in their lives, spending time
  with them, teaching them, disciplining them and
  having fun with them. I will have good
  relationships with my extended family and
  friends. I will be a true friend to them and be
  there to listen and empathize with each of them.
  I will also serve my neighbor (whoever is in
  front of me at the moment), loving them the way
  God wants me to.

Example of a Vision Statement

• Five years from now, I will still be happily
  married to my husband, and we will have 2
  children. We will be living in a bigger home,
  with a garden and pool and lots of room where the
  children can play. I will work close to the home
  so I do not have to waste time on the road in
  endless traffic. Ninety percent of the income I
  will generate will be saved for annual family
  vacations, while the remaining ten percent will
  be given to the Church.
• By being home early, I will be able to spend
  more time cooking dinner for the family, playing
  with my kids, reading books to them and teaching
  them. Aside from family time, I will also be able
  to go to the gym and resume playing badminton
  with my friends.
