first KEY POINT
No plan, no gain
In life, it's very easy for you to get distracted and wander off course. Many people live to their prime, look around, and realize they are adrift in the open ocean and have never had a fulfilled life.According to Michael Hyatt and Daniel Harkavy, drifting mainly happens when you are unaware, overwhelmed, or distracted. Sometimes, you drift due to a lack of awareness of your surroundings or the consequences at stake. You might be focusing on the wrong things in life, leaving the things that matter to chance. You might be too busy with your career to cultivate meaningful relationships or take good care of yourself. Others waste their time perusing social media without focusing on things that add value to their lives.People who don't know where they are headed in life always find themselves stagnating in circles. Such people go from one pointless activity to another until they eventually conclude that life has no meaning. Fortunately, no matter how far away you've drifted in the sea of life, you can still create a Life Plan.
A Life Plan is a hint at the future you imagine for yourself.

• What matters most?
• How can I get to where I want to be from here?Just as a GPS app is vital to a hiker, a Life Plan is essential to your journey.
