I have become a master at throwing myself beyond my comfort zone and just "winging it", but how to make and follow a prepared plan, and not just moments before a deadline?

"It is only possibe to be truly happy when you aer first true to yourself." It can take a long time to strengthen our will and even longer to pull ourselves out of the pull of conformity. Like you stated, what helps is having a clearly defined purpose. A well-defined purpose strengthens our personal foundation, defines our reasons for living, and gives meaning to our actions. Without a well-defined purpose it's easy to be at the mercy of others who will gladly define your purpose for us. Strengthening will begins by asking the important questions: What do I want? WLhat's important to me? Knowing your direction allows you to develop your own purpose and plan. You know what you want to say "yes" or "no" to. Thanks for sharing your wisdom! Hi Stephen,
