Helpful Links: | Plan For Life To help people PLAN and LEAD inspired lives--to fulfill their callings. Plan for Life helps individuals, families, teams, and organizations to write plans for life, answering life's important questions, such as: mission, values, beliefs, desired legacy, best-self strategies, goals, resolutions... Business centers and companies state intent and help unite stakeholders in their common mission. For couples, a mission and vision statement for marriage increases understanding and positive reminders for motivation "beyond the honeymoon." Some use their statements as wedding pledges and vows. Scripture has many references to the calling to plan. Yet, most estimate that less than 5% actually write a plan of even the length and depth of a high school paper. In the future, more churches will assist their flocks to write plans for life as an act of good stewardship to discover, development, and devote their callings, gifts, and talents to fulfill their purposes in life. This is a leadership opportunity to help people in spiritual, social, and professional organizations to be encouraged and educated to write plans that inspire and guide them. Without them, stewardship and peak performance cannot be reached. It's a natural law. We encourage pastors and presidents to not only speak about and encourage written mission, goals, and personal development plans, but also to lead by putting systems in place to reward people for doing common sense through plans, assessments, and rewards. Life leaders seek to identify their callings and choices, prayers and plans. PLAN (Pray. Listen. Act. Now.) A helpful daily ritual: wake at least a few minutes before you "have to" to pray and listen, then take action on what you hear. We host a Plan for Life Workshop in January for members and guests to start or improve their written plans. Some write mission statements, other goals and resolutions, some statements of desired legacy or wills, some sheets to use in attracting cients. We follow up with a Plans for Life Seminar in February where people present their progress as examples for others and to inspire them to keep improving. At other seminars, we encourage improving plans and actions based on what they learned or decided at the program.
