Life planning is intentionally designing one’s future based on beliefs, values, and vision. By proactively shaping personal and professional aspirations, individuals cultivate motivation, maintain balance, and navigate life’s uncertainties with clarity and purpose.
Practical Exercise: The “Life Compass” Reflection
Set aside 10 minutes to map out your future direction using these four key questions:
- Beliefs & Values:What are the core principles that guide my decisions and actions?
- Vision:What do I want my life to look like in 5–10 years (personally and professionally)?
- Priorities:What are the top three areas I need to focus on to align with this vision?
- First Steps:What is one small action I can take this week to move closer to my desired future?
Action Step: Write down your Life Compass and revisit it monthly to ensure your actions align with your long-term aspirations.
