A 't-crossing' 'i-dotter' - Is This You?
When you make plans for your future, do you try to cross every ‘t', and
dot every ‘I'?
If so, welcome to the party!
I do it, everyone tends to, but it can lead you down so many blind alleys,
you won't know which way to turn!
(Ok, I'm not sure that analogy works either, but stay with me, I'm carrying
on!)
Here's why it can be disastrous to be a ‘t-crosser'
Firstly, you are unlikely to manage it.
You are trying to map a safe route for yourself, guaranteed from start to
finish.
In theory you are trying to cover all the bases, to create a contingency plan
for every possibility.
This is an impossible task, at some point your logic will reach an impasse,
and you will just give up.
That's assuming you even got that far!
Secondly, if you set out on your task with a picture which is too rigid or
inflexible, you will allow opportunities to pass you by, just because they
weren't in your blueprint.
It may be that one of those passed opportunities was the one that would
have fast tracked you to your goal.
Imagine the process ...
... of goal achievement as a guided missile.
The missile launch is where you are now in your life, and the target is the
goal you have set.
Do guided missiles travel in a straight line?
Of course they don't, they can go all over the place!
They end up at the target though.
It's the same with goal achievement.
Yes, you need a plan on how to get to your goal, and yes, specifics can be good.
Flexibility is vital though.
You need to be able to assess those opportunities that come your way.
Some of them will amaze you, believe me, and you have to be ready to
accept some, and decline others.
Other times your plan may not be quite working, and if you stick to it too
rigidly, you can just end up stressed because your formula isn't working,
when in fact all it needs is maybe a little tweaking.
So remember, flexibility is required asset, and you can't have *that* if you
insist on ‘t-crossing' and ‘i-dotting'!
