The Elements Of Inspiration To Planning

By Kim Warrior


As humans we have influences, those that incline upon us to carry out a task or give you an idea about what to create. This we to refer to as our inspiration. It is what keeps us going and motivates us into carrying out an activity to its logical end.

On the other hand, planning involves coming up with a set of related activities all meant towards achieving a desired objective. It is conducted while keeping in mind a desired goal. This serves to regularly remind the planner of the activities he committed to do in his future as he goes about his routine.

A true warrior should always have a plan, but what should inspire us to do so. For starters, a warrior due to planning will have a happier life as he will be more organized and will have a say in what course his life takes as well as the activities that he will be required to carry out.

This is a fact that is known even by our athletes as can be seen from the hours of training they put in before a competition. One just has to look at Mo Farah, a world and Olympic champion to realize this. The planning he undertakes is immense running for months including training in Kenya because of the high altitude. All this in preparation for a 2-3 hour event but it surely does boost his performance to champion status.

As a daily Warrior then we should align our activities in such a way that they are always planned, working towards achieving a desired objective. We should also count towards improved performance and attainment our objectives as motivation towards planning. This will enable us be champions in our own field and in our own right. In the process we shall surely be helping us lead happier, fruitful lives.

One should also share his/her plans to close confidants as communication is very important in a warriors plan. By doing so you shall actually be pushing yourself more to stick to and implement the plan as there will be people behind you that expect you to do so. Also, by involving this close circle of friends in your plans, you are by extension showing them the extent of your love and trust in them and that it is enough for you to consider them in your plans. There will be variation in these friends circle between individuals, but it generally encompasses, business partners, family, team mates, a spouse etc.

As you plan also, do have proper knowledge of your objectives. This will give you enough stimuli to keep tracking your activities and actions over time. This to ensure that they remain aligned to your plan. With this constant review, it will be hard for your goals not to be met. With all this in mind, an intelligent plan is bound to be the result and with it the spirit to plan.

Last but not least, are emotions. They are another motivating factor that should encourage us to do so. The expectations we have, joy, sadness, happiness etc. Will all influence our planning. Imagine for a second, your future, what do you expect? What more can you achieve should you work harder for it? Your expectations must be building up already. Now imagine what would occur if you decided not to work harder and plan? Not a chance right?
