“If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.” - Jim Rohn
To me, this quote is all about individuality. Falling into someone else’s plan reminds me of the movie 13 Going on 30. In the movie, all Jenna Rink wanted was to fit in with the popular girls. She did everything to be what she wasn’t. Becoming part of the “in group”, she fell into Lucy’s plan. She did everything Lucy wanted, and as she found out, in the end she was a cold-hearted person just like Lucy. In the movie Jenna was able to go back and stick with who she was, but in real life, we don’t have very many second chances. You need to decide for yourself who you are going to be. You need to plan your own future, and only you can get there. So my weekly wisdom for this week—be yourself.
