Happiness Key: Make a plan for a happy and successful life

“Hey, what are you doing now”?

Classic Facebook, Twitter, and all other social networking pages always ask a variation of the question, 
'What are you doing?' along with a space for updates on your life at the moment. It's fun and interesting to  write what you're doing and to read what others are up to as well. I love the social networking sites for keeping up with friends and family.

But the true question of what do you plan to do with your life is a crucial one for many of us. A true key to happiness is making plans. 
Oh sure, we all make plans but they don't work if you lock them away in the back of your mind. It is in keeping them in the forefront of our everyday lives and sticking to them that determines our happiness.

You need to establish a time line for your goals and dreams and to make changes and rearrange your set schedule if necessary.  Establish a bit of 'wiggle room'  for life's unexpected roadblocks along your way but like a good navigator, stick pretty much to the course you have set for your life. Life shouldn't 'just happen.' It should be part of a well thought out plan that creates happiness for you.

So, the next you read the words, 'what are you doing now' on your favorite social site, use them as a prompt to remember that your happiness depends on making the best possible plans for life.
