It's important that you need to be clear about the aspiration that you want to attain first and visualize and proceed with the essential measures needed to complete that desire. Your thoughts supervise your actions, therefore when you want to act optimistically, you feel and envision creativity to build you up.

Suppose you are going to buy a house. You all will be smart to ask for the layout of the house. But our question to you today is that whether you have a solid layout for your life. Many of you without having a solid plan start building your life and end up in trouble. Always remember to begin with a layout that takes you to your desired destiny.

A layout you prepare for your life determines which way your life should go. For instance, if an engineer is planning to build a building, the first thing that the engineer does is drawing a layout of the building. Here you can understand that the engineer finishes the building with a plan before commencing the construction. So, to be successful in life you need to prepare a layout for your life.

Now, let’s see the important parts to be included in your life’s layout to be successful.

• Vision
• Setting Goals
• Managing resources
• Being productive

Vision: Well, the reality of the topic is that for every idea or thought you have, be it positive or negative, there is a vision inside you that is created either consciously or unconsciously. Vision is the capacity to believe what you cannot see but prepare and plan for it. Where there is no vision, the people perish.

If you don’t have a vision in your life, you will lack discipline. The vision and the preparation to achieve the vision keeps you disciplined. If an engineer does not have a proper vision or preparation about the building in the layout, the building cannot be erected properly. Life cannot be built solid unless you have a proper vision and plan. So, if you have the desire to be successful in life, plan a vision for your life.

Setting Goals: Setting goals is the foundation to accomplishment and you also must work extremely hard to attain your dreams in life. Goals are set as a specific target that moves you towards your vision. So always have goals in life-based on your vision. Now, you can classify it into short-term and long-term. Next, you can develop a plan to achieve it. Next, you can work on your goal every day. Your goals in life decide what your priorities are, how you spend your time, whom you are associated with. So, if you don’t have goals, you will waste your time. You will associate with bad companions and finally broke. So, to be successful frame certain goals based on your vision.

Managing Resources: You all see resources from different perceptive. The resource which we are going to discuss today is one which all humans have common in life and that is time. When you are blessed with a new day, remember that it is an opportunity to redefine yourselves. What you become in life is based on the time that you use in your life.

Time is indeed priceless, and it would be an injustice to yourself and your dreams to not figure out a way to fit in time for your goals. Remember, many have been where you are at present, and were able to have dreams come to completion. Triumph is up to you. You must take complete accountability for your goals.

Time is an important resource like other resources. We will never allow people to steal our valuables. But we allow people to steal and abuse our time. Beware of such people. If you do not manage your time, someone else will manage it and you will become the victim of that person. Apart from time, you have other resources to make yourself valuable. Manage every resource in your life effectively to be successful in life.

Being productive:  Now, in the layout of life, you have a vision. You have set goals and finally, you know how to manage your resources. But if you wait for miracles to happen or if you wait for the crisis in life to pass on, then you are in a miserable state. Don’t wait for the storms to be clear in life, there will be problems all around. Find possible opportunities to be productive always in life. If you are productive, your results are shown in your success.

Don’t be busy always leading an unproductive life. Plan effectively to be productive. We would like to share a famous kid’s tale which will help you understand to plan, manage, and being productive in life. It’s none other than the ants and the grasshopper’s tale. The ants planned for the autumn and started collecting grains during the summer. This grasshopper made fun of them while they were working on their vision to store the grains for the autumn.

Finally, the autumn season began. The ants enjoyed as they prepared and planned for the autumn during the summer. The grasshopper starved for the food and reached for the help of the ants. The proper vision, goals, managing of available resources, and being productive during the summer was the secret of the ants to be successful.

The secret to your success is the solid layout, which you prepare for your life. The best layout prepared by an engineer will help to erect a solid building. Likewise, to be successful in life prepare a solid layout for you.
