What is the Plan?


The holidays are right around the corner.  Have you created a plan to make your way through them?
There is usually more than one way to get to where you are going.
You will need a plan, of course.
In planning, you will also need to look at what can happen at each fork in the road.  Each decision will impact the next step.

I know...I am making it sound difficult.  But it's the holidays, and while the holidays tend to bring out the best in people, you will also find that it is a time for memories (some bad, some good) and old heartaches or regrets to come to the surface.  Everyone is stressing too, so nerves tend to get on edge.
Be prepared.
Have a plan.  Who will you visit?  What will you bring?  Who will you invite? What will you serve?  There are tons of things to look at...so
... make sure that when you plan, you include downtime for yourself.  You deserve it!
It will make it easier to enjoy the holidays - as stress-free as possible.

Eliminating Roadblocks


How many times have you set goals, work really hard and feel like you weren’t making any progress and give up? Did you even stop to think how close you were to success? Take any goal that you didn’t reach – clean out the garage, renovate the basement, join a club to meet new people, implement a community newsletter. Take a step away and think through what made you stop.



  • Too much work, not enough time
  • No help
  • Too much research
  • No cash to spend at the moment
Reasons (or excuses really) to quit pop up all the time and sometimes so quickly that you do not even get started. Here is a sure-fire way to keep rolling through to reach your goal and be successful:


  • Write out or think about all the roadblocks while you are setting your goal.
  • Determine what you can do to overcome the obstacle right now – not when it pops up.
For example: I would like to renovate the basement but I do not have the cash or time. So I could overcome this by planning out the big renovation and then breaking it down into small affordable pieces. I could also enlist the help of others who have these talents and skills, and trade off with them for time on their next big project. I could shop thrift stores or websites to find cheap or free stuff for furnishing or even steps on how to do-it-myself. There, that has eliminated all the roadblocks I have given myself – time to get to work and plan each phase.
As humans we are really good at putting obstacles up before we even start – get them out of the way fast and move on, you’ll definitely be happier and get more done!

What If - The Question

The maze of life is full of questions.  And our job is to find the answers that work best for us.
Imagine that you took each question or option that came your way and asked "what if?"
  • What if I succeed?
  • What if it works?
  • What if I don't like it?
  • What if it makes me uncomfortable?
  • What if it makes everyone happy?
  • What if I fail?
  • What if I lose?
  • What if I don't try?
  • What if I put it in motion?
All questions we should ask ourselves in the maze of life.  And there are many more 'what ifs' out there.

And once we find the first answer we should ask 'what if?' again...it may lead us in new directions.

There is a 'What If' exercise in Solution Linx to Personal Growth.  Click here to learn more.
