I am currently in the process of writing a life plan! I have done stuff like this in the before, but this time I am following Michael Hyatt’s Life Plan Template (you can download this E-Book for free HERE). Here is a powerful illustration that he uses to show the need for a plan:
I’d like you to imagine that you are about to attend one of the most important occasions of your life.
It will be held in a room sufficiently large to seat all of your friends, your family, your business associates—anyone and everyone to whom you are important and who is important to you. Can you see it?
The walls are draped with deep golden tapestries. The lighting is subdued, soft, casting a warm glow on the faces of your expectant guests. The chairs are handsomely upholstered in a golden fabric that matches the tapestries. The golden carpeting is deeply piled.
At the front of the room is a dais, and on the dais a large, beautifully decorated table with candles burning at either end.
On the table, in the center, is the object of everyone’s attention. A large, shining, ornate box. And in the box is … you! Stiff as the proverbial board.
Do you see yourself lying in the box, not a dry eye in the room?
-From The E-Myth Revisited
I truly believe that there is life after death…that eternity is a reality…and that what we do in this life actually matters…especially what we do (or don’t do) when it comes to the person of Jesus! Still, when I imagine the end of my earthly life, I really do wonder, “What will they say when I am dead?”
Think about it for yourself! What are the things that matter most in life? What do you want people to say about you? Do you have a life plan?
