MY LIFE PLAN As of <Date Here>

Creating your life plan is an important step. Use this template as a guide to help you document your life plan. Connecting your head and your heart through this process is an important realization, so stretch yourself in ways you never imagined.

Remember - "Your mind is like a parachute, it only works when it is Open"

The sections of this template are: Outcomes - determining how do you want to be remembered. Priorities - defining your priorities in life. Action Plans - putting together plans for your priorities and desired outcomes. Reviews - defining checkups to see how you are doing.

As Stephen Covey outlined in his book Seven Habits of Highly Effective People - "Begin with the End in Mind." This is the first step to defining your outcomes, this is the end, your envisioned future or future state. Some outcomes will require you to think about what people will say about you when you am dead. Not that we want you dead, but a lot of people have regrets when they are on their death bed and the whole point of doing this exercise is to minimize your regrets.

Please allocated intentional time to this. This means dedicated quiet time, think time, and process time. Try not to rush this and allow enough time to finish this version and treat it as if it is your life - BECAUSE IT IS!!! Just one more reminder, this should be reviewed and updated as needed as life is a journey and things change. Use your judgement as to creating the next version of this, but be intentional when your life does change.

Good Luck and Let’s Get Started!!!

Action Plans

Account 1: God - SAMPLE

Envisioned Future: I have a continuous relationship with God. I pray every morning, read the bible on a consistent basis and weave what I learn into every day. My heart feels pure, my head is clear, and I continue to grow spiritually through the bible so I am prepared for hard discussions with anyone. I am ready when God calls me to action.

Purpose Statement:My purpose with God is for God to know my heart and never hear a hypocritical word out of my mouth. I will organize my life to have a continuous RELATIONSHIP with Jesus and be disciplined to do what is necessary to maintain this relationship. I will pray for wisdom, do my part to listen for his queues and direction, and allow him to do his work in me.

Supporting Verse:Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Current Reality: I feel my head is clear, but not always connected to God, want a continuous connection in

all I do. I am not given him my time first when I wake up to stay connected with him. I am not praying outwardly with family and friends. I am more aware of him guiding my life and “setting up pins” for me to see and knock

down. He is definitely guiding me and I actually see it more than ever. He has probably been doing it all my life, but I just could not see it.

Specific Commitments: Perform Daily Devotional





Pray as often as I can Pray for Wisdom, Awareness, Regulation, Let me see what I am supposed to see, see His

plan to follow





Account 2: Self - Health

Envisioned Future:How you see your future for this priority.
