Think of the Master Plan as the master's bedroom in your house, You know the master bedroom is the one room in the whole house where most of
the decisions are made. It is where the man and his wife mostly conceive their
children (not just physical children but also family goals, dreams and vision),
it is where strategies are drawn out for family planning(birth
control),budgeting and so on. It is also where they retreat to if there is need
for strategy for whatever purpose
Master plan is the plan of all plans, the bedrock on which all
other plan should stand on. It should be the road that all other roads leads to
in terms of your plans for living the life you know you want and could have.
As long as your master plan is solid enough for you to fully
become convinced about it, you will achieve whatever you set-up yourself for.
A master plan is the plan that should not crumble even when all
else do.
Here is how a master plan looks like:
You see from the
above diagrammatic illustration, as long as you stay true to your master plan,
all your other plans will without fail come to fruition. You cannot afford to
compromise your master plan. You will have to nurture it and retreat back to it
time to time to constantly gain a sense of purpose.
Your master plan
could also be seen as the plan that births your other plans (or the place where
other plans are conceived like the master’s bedroom), so if the children (the
other plans) are not doing well as they should, you have to work on your master
plan – it could be either you have deviated from the master plan or it could be
that it wasn’t a master plan to start with
Not all plans can
fit for a master plan.
For instance; going through or seeing yourself through College
cannot possibly be a master plan cause after you’ve achieved it, then what? A master
plan should be a plan that is dynamic; ever forward, and far reaching, a plan
that seems to outdo even your greatest achievements. One that keeps you, ever inspired
– like in the above illustration - “To be the best I know I can be”. It could
be, “To be a symbol of integrity, to first my family, and secondarily to the
world.”
If you haven’t got
one, please do well to get one. It is called a plan it is not a motto; it means
you will have to plan towards it and apply yourself to achieving it, and that
where the other goals comes in. The other external circles (the other goals),
will help you arrive at the main goal or master plan as we called it.
Get that plan and
stay true to it.
