Don’t live your life on autopilot

The challenge of the modern world is to live a life of purpose. Many people today live their lives on autopilot. They give very little planning to their day or the activities they do. But planning must be at the core of everyone’s life because:

If you don’t have a plan, you will fall prey to the plans of others.

Among the top five things I value the most is autonomy. I dislike following someone else’s plans. I like to be in control of my life and planning out how to live my life ensures that I have that control.

If you don’t want to live according to someone else’s plans, you must start dedicating time and effort to planning your own life. Avoid doing things simply because your friends are doing them. Live intentionally. Understand the reasons behind your actions, and, more importantly, focus on what you’re doing.

To live on autopilot is to have another person take control of your life. Imagine how much more productive you could be if you took full ownership of your life.
