Planning is thinking about and organizing the activities required to achieve a desired goal. Planning involves the creation and maintenance of a plan. As such, planning is a fundamental property of intelligent behavior. This thought process is essential to the creation and refinement of a plan, or integration of it with other plans.
Very few successes in life happen by chance. Mostly success happens by design. YOU have to design for YOUR own success, i.e. you have to PLAN for your success. However, the sad fact is that most people fail to plan for their success and end up falling into someone else's plan.

Here’s how to begin to plan with a purpose:
Go through your life thoroughly. What is your gift? What do you want to be in the future? What is your passion? (i.e., something you would love to do even if you were not paid to do it.)
Write it down. Most of the people who have achieved their dreams took the first step towards achieving them: they wrote them down.
Plan a route to get there. Write down what ever it will take you to reach your dream
Put your piece of paper where you can see it and remind yourself of your goals.
Work your plan. Put it into action by following the route to your dream. It may mean adjusting a lot of things in your life, but it will be worth it one day.
Dismiss negativity and begin to speak your future in the present. This will assimilate into your mind and help you to persevere towards your dream.
