A Thought on Life Planning

This is not a brag, but I have taken quite a few higher education classes.

The opening day was almost always started with introductions of your name, what you do (or it is volunteered) and what would you do if you won the lottery.

Most people answer (and these are weighted):

1.) Travel
2.) Pay off bills
3.) Take care of my family
4.) Start a charity

Got me thinking that most people really don't know what they want to do in life.

It seems perhaps they just flow through life with a loosely devised plan of what they think they should follow (or what someone else thinks they should follow).

Many don't expand their thinking and thus life planning using Creative Problem Solving (CPS), SWOT analysis, or even just deferred judgement brainstorming.

I think more should.
