Your life will happen one way or another, so it's a good idea to take charge of its direction, and a life plan is the way to do it. Thousands of books discuss how to create a life plan. No matter your age, the purpose of a life plan is to capitalize on opportunities and avoid regrets. A life plan can be written for a month at a time or drafted to incorporate many years. Life plans help you maximize and prioritize possibilities, and they separate the possible from the improbable. (You probably don't have the resources to visit the moon someday, so a plan will keep you pursuing dreams are still realistic.) The future is coming, and with it the realities you will face. A plan can help you navigate these challenges with your happiness remaining inact. So, where are you heading?
