Good Girls Gone Bad - supernatural action thriller.
While this plan is detailed and organized, it can also become overwhelming. You might spend so much time perfecting each aspect that you never get to the
actual writing. A strategy approach considers your unique strengths, the story’s needs, and the flexibility to adapt as you write.
Being stuck in the planning stage without making tangible progress is no fun. Let’s say we plan to get fit. We usually default to some generic program or copy an influencer’s workout and diet regimen to the letter. But how many of us have tried furiously following those cookie-cutter blueprints, only to
inevitably fall off after a few weeks? They’re disconnected from our particular lifestyles, preferences, injury histories, and resource availability.
On the other hand, a strategic approach would start by doing a full-scope inventory. What’s my daily schedule and routine actually like right now? How can I reasonably integrate fitness into that existing flow? What types of training get me psyched and feeling accomplished rather than
dreading it? What affordable, sustainable nutrition plan can I adhere to long-term rather than suffering through some extreme, unsustainable protocol?
From there, you craft a custom methodology pulling from various modalities tailored to leverage your strengths and circumvent your weaknesses. You design a game plan ideally suited for your specific circumstances, not an unfamiliar framework you’re trying to awkwardly contort yourself
into.
But here’s where strategy separates itself from that fallback to planning - it’s an inherently dynamic, ever-evolving practice of intentional refinement through courageous action. You don’t timidly spend months over-analyzing upfront, waiting until you’ve achieved “perfect” preparation. You outline a rudimentary game plan, then immediately start executing and updating as you learn what works and what needs adjusting.
Did meal-prepping prove too tedious to stick with? Adapt by finding healthy-ish restaurants or pre-made options that fit your schedule and palate better. Is your ambition to jog daily falling flat because you dread it and keep hitting snooze? Pivot to hitting the weights or cycling classes instead, activities that light you up. The strategy flexes, shifts, and continually improves based on real-time results and self-discoveries.
This fluid, personalized approach is the secret sauce for progress in any domain. Whether you’re finally birthing that debut novel, reinventing your career, or redesigning your lifestyle - stop getting bogged down in the maze of meticulous planning. Don’t browbeat yourself for lack of discipline in adhering to some dry, ill-fitting regimen.
Instead, find your strategic edge as a
gloriously flawed but infinitely adaptable human being. Design an approach that accounts for both your unique genius and rough edges from the jump. Leverage your strengths and differentiators while proactively circumventing your stumbling blocks and limitations. Embrace the mindset of a continual learner and creative problem-solver rather than hoping to “set it and forget it.”
True agency and forward momentum can only be seized by
those willing to think and move with strategic, creative intentionality. To implement your strategy, stay creatively committed to finding a way rather than endlessly searching for the perfect way that likely doesn’t even exist.
That road to genuine epic achievement is built upon the rock-solid foundation of leveraging your unique strengths, circumstances, and competitive advantages. It’s the path of the intuitive
strategist, not the paralysis-inducing endless planner. And who knows - for some of you, it may just be the key to finally bringing into being that big plan you were meant to author.
So get strategic, get creative, and get in that cosmic flow state. Because no amount of intensive planning can prepare you for the gloriously strange evolutions awaiting those willing to forge their own dynamic paths to greatness...one intentional
improvisation at a time.
Til the next transmission, keep asking the big questions.
Peace, love and power.
Be Your Own Hero.
