Pulling Focus

"I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air."

1 Corinthians 9:26

Whether or not you know where you see yourself in five years time (a question that seems to have cropped up a few times this week), it is still possible to be focused in your life. Do you find that the people who ask that question are very tidy people? Yes, me too, and good for them. It must be lovely to be so well arranged and have plans that are immune to sidewinds. (Interesting, there is a vicious wind out there today.)  Does your lack of answer for the 'five year plan' question cause you to feel inadequate or unusual for not hitting immovable specifics? Don't feel that.

Can we attempt a reframe? Perhaps more important is to be able to define your values. It's about naming the things that you pursue whatever the circumstance.

Maybe it would be more helpful to ask this:

What is it you are fighting for?

If you can figure that one out, you have all the battle plan you need to start pulling focus.
