서너 시간 동안을 앉아서 편하게 가려고 10시간 이상이나 줄서서 서울역 광장에 서있는
게 옳은건가 맞는건가 권할만한건가 할만한건가 자랑거리인가 내세울만한건가 ..가 !?
임시공휴일로 여기저기서 국내 국외 여행계획들이 한창이다. 여름휴가 해외로 갔다 온게
바로 엊그제 아닌가. 여행만큼 사람을 사람되게 풍요하게 깊이있게 해 주는 것도 없을 것이다
가까운 일본 그들은 우리가 쇄국할 때도 여행 자유였었다. 우리가 여권내기가 하늘의
별따기 같을 때도 온 지구를 누볐다. 여러 이유가 있겠지만 여행 특히 해외여행의 자유화가
오늘의 경제부국 세계적 부자나라가 된 이유 중이 하나다. 긴 추석연휴 해외여행 좋다 참좋다.
곰꼼한 계획이든 멋있는 계획이든 대충 계획이든 여행 전에 계획을 세운다.
목적지 기간 경비 여정 일자 ... 이런 일상사 정도인 여행에도 계획을 세운다.
그런데 어떠하신가요 생에 단 한 번 뿐인 자신의 인생을 위해서 계획을 세우셨나요
그보다 오늘 하루의 계획은 갖고 출근버스에 오르셨나요
자기만의 개성 철학 가치 줏대를 가진자는 분명히 안다. 내가 누군지, 어딜가는지
지금어딘지, 어딜가고싶은지 ..이들을 생각는 데 많은 시간과 공을 드린다.
그리고 나의 저널로 옮긴다
오늘도 잘될꺼야 잘돼겠지 뭐 날마다처럼 출근하고
그저그냥그렇게 그전에 그런날들처럼 하루를 산다
차라이 로또 복권을 사는 것보다 못한 삶이다
꼐획없는 인생 이는 버려진 인생이다.
p/s 빈틈없이 꼼꼼히 촘촘히 짠 여행계획도 망칠 때도 있다. 두고두고 꼽씹는다
1회성 인생에 계획이 없다. 이건 아예 망할려고 작정한 것이다. 다음이 없다
Rohn: Do You Have a Plan for Your Life?
When you are a person of character, you know who you are and where you want to go. You’ve already spent a great deal of time thinking about it. You’ve been working on the parts of your personality that will make you better—your attitude, your health, your time-management skills. You’ve been putting it all down on paper. And you’ve developed positive self-direction.

As you talk with yourself every day, how often do you ask, Is what I am doing today getting me closer to where I want to be tomorrow? Because here’s what you don’t want to ever do: kid yourself. Kid your neighbor and kid me and kid the marketplace if you want to, but don’t kid yourself. You can’t wait around with your fingers crossed hoping you’ll arrive at a good destination when you’re not even headed in the right direction. You say, Well maybe the wind will take me. There’s a chance, of course, but it’s about as likely as winning the lottery. You’ve got to take charge.
Ancient scripture says that hope, if it’s delayed long enough, can make the heart sick. You’ve got to ask yourself often, Am I performing the disciplines that are taking me in the direction that I want to go? I don’t want to delude myself and think I’m on the way to financial success when there’s not a prayer. I don’t want to delude myself into thinking there’s someone else who will take care of it. Nobody else is going to take care of it. Nobody else is going to take care of me.
What if all of your negative-thinking relatives turned positive? What would that do for your fortune and your future? Not much. If prices came down a little, what would that do for your sophistication and your culture? Not much. If the economy gets a little better, what would that do for you? Not much.
If you don’t make plans of your own, you’ll fit into someone else’s plans. And what do you think they have planned for you? Not much. Most people wake up every morning counting on this “not-much” list. And that’s all they have: not much. Not much hope. Not much promise. Not much progress. They’re driving what they don’t want to drive, living where they don’t want to live, doing what they don’t want to do.
Forget the thief waiting in the alley to snatch your purse. What about the thief in your mind? He is tempting you to become lazy, not stimulated by thoughts and questions. Don’t become a victim of yourself. Ask yourself these questions:
- Is this the direction that I want for my life?
- Is this someone else’s direction?
- Is it a goal that has been ingrained in me since my childhood?
- Is it my parents’, my spouse’s, my boss’s or my children’s?
- Is it mine?
Ask yourself these questions. Get into the debate of your inner mind.
- What am I doing that works?
- What am I doing that doesn’t work?
Debate it all. Work with your mind to figure out the best possible direction for you. This is your self-direction.
