Take control of your own future

"A person without any goal travels to an unknown destination." I'm very sure that you would have heard that several times in your life in some way or the other. But the crux remains the same, a person with properly set goals has his niche.
Setting goals gives full control over one's life. I personally do not believe in becoming "something" by chance. Whether we accept it or not, we're always swirling in the cause and effect motion.
Think about it baby. Would you attribute chance to what you are now? You might say "Yes" and say, "I would have been something else if I've got that chance." Wait a minute, don't fool around me - you did not get that most wanted opportunity only because of something you did not do.
You cannot attribute chance to something more transparent like that.
Your present is the effect of what you did in your past and your future will be the effect of whatever you are doing now. You decide the fate of your future - most of the time. And most of the time we do not do the right thing only because we do not know what's the right thing is.
Ignorance is bliss, but its only as long as you are ignorant. The simple answer to such a big problem is to visualize your future and set goals to yourself.
1) Come up with a vision for your life. Your vision should really be broad enough to accommodate all the twists and turns your life might bring to you. For an example, your vision might be: "I want to be a BILLIONAIRE in another 25 years" or "I want to form an organization of at least 50000 employee in my country". Whatever you might consider to be your ultimate achievement.
2) Now come up with a long term goal that aligns with your life's vision. A long term goal is what you want to be in another five years down the line. Your long term goal needs to be pretty tangible and also, your long term goal should help you in achieving your ultimate vision. So, you might have to do a bit of homework before settling down for one. Gather information - the most important. Know the means to achieve your mission.
3) Come up with a list of short term goals to achieve your long term goal. Since your long term goal is tangible, it will be easy to come up with a list of short term milestones. Short term goal is something you can finish off in a three to six months time frame.
4) You can even break down your short term goal and come up with list of ultra-short term milestones. The whole idea of the process is to be informed about what you've to do.
Be informed about your future, so that you can be prepared.
Now, all that you have to do is to stick to your plan. Of course, there will be deviations, but at the least now you have your route map. Do not worry.
Achievers do not believe in luck and they do not achieve by chance. They always knew what they want to be, and they concentrate on what have to be done. If they happen to achieve something else on the way to their ultimate goal, it is just a by-product of their hard work. Take control of your present actions and thus, take control of your future.
