Keeping Moving and Growing
Dear Tim
"I think u have demonstrated resilience n ability to flow with whatever life presents you."
Over a period of years I have discovered the importance of which PREPOSITIONS we use in our lives: long range, mid-range, short-range.
Flow with
to me implies there is a predetermined path or route or plan. I do not accept or live my life that way even though there are many things about cultures, communities, schools, religions, clubs that try to create and use pre-determine plans or ways of doing things.
My general belief is that my life is mine to create dealing with all the various internal and external factors and influences: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, cultural, ????
instead I prefer to live this way
Keeping Moving and Growing
no matter what happens to me, around me from local to global scale.
One book project I have not finished that I have given presentations about often since 1977 is
LIKE IS A CREATIVE JOURNEY,
NOT A GUIDED TOUR
Often in my life I have had PLANS
even with preset or predetermine steps and goals almost logical like
STRATEGIC PLANNING has tried to teach for nearly 40 years
Vision
Mission
Objectives
Goals
Tasks
Actions
are the levels or stages
But something happened that was maybe predictable or maybe totally unexpected or predictable.
That is when creative thinking and problem solving of various types have saved me consciously, other times external forces or people made the solutions happen.
DEFINITIONS OF KEY WORDS OF
STRATEGIC THINKING & PLANNING
Vision - ULTIMATE DREAMS that are sought but knowing that they will never be reached
not numerically measurable....I will know it when I can see it but I can imagine it
Mission - purpose, WHY WE CHOOSE TO DO IT
describable with or without measures
Objectives - long range/scale plans
months to years
measurable, can be timed
Goals - mid-range/scale plans
weeks to months
measurable, can be timed
Tasks - specific short-range/scale plans
minutes to days to weeks
can be measurable
Actions - very specific
minutes to hours to weeks
can be measurable
measures can be
physical, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic
These are my working definitions
STRATEGIC PLANNING or STRATEGIC THINKING = Creative Thinking with Specific Results that are measurable, describable, definable.
Thank you for your kind words about me you shared.
