Planning Where You Want to Go

By Darian Sixx

The way I see it, my redundant motto yields the right results. That being "the only way through it, is through it!" Sure most tasks are difficult. There always has to be a starting place. The starting place of preference is always going to be the well thought out plan. The actual physical process goes smoother and faster, as the quickest way through the process is always a straight line. If you get started without this process, it's going to be ad-lib and making it up as you go along. This direction leads to frayed ends, and is way too unpredictable. The well thought out course gets the job done better and usually with the expected results.

Let's take skydiving for example. Scary as heck, wouldn't you think? Well I'm choosing this extreme example because when the outcome is life or death, it brings home the "importance factor" just that much stronger. Okay so I've never personally embarked on the task myself however I would assume a thorough inspection of the chute is vital to the success of the mission. Well inspected equipment certainly does not apply only to skydiving either. But sticking to course is what this article is all about, and so as to not go off on a tangent about what other tasks involve this planning stage, knowing that most successful ventures involve a well though out plan is primarily what there is to know here.

Now back to the grind. We got the chute inspected but do we know how to use it? This particular brand has a red cord for the emergency backup use, and a green cord for your main. Knowing how to operate the chute is representative of a few steps of the thousand mile journey. Next we have to know how to angle the body to fly in the right direction, so practicing in a wind tunnel with an instructor, would probably account for additional steps you would want to take. And now that those steps are under your belt, planning the trip and dealing with the expense is yet another few yards on the path.

Okay so here you are at 1,500 feet and there is no turning back now. No need to worry because you are trained, you are in the moment and your airplane floor will not be under your feet much longer. So why not own up to it. This is where your positive mental attitude really gets put to the test. The wind speed is now right according to the pilot; your targeted landing zone is coming into view and now the spotlight is on you!

It comes time for the most important step of a thousand miles, the one step off the airplane. Instead of doing that in a cowardly fashion, this is one of the areas that you thought out in your planning stage, so you do so with your chest out ready to enjoy the thrill. And what a thrill it is. The wind is rushing past your goggles and the earth is inching toward you in a different way than you've ever experienced. Whoopee I'm flying is that awesome thought swirling around your head.

Okay so you look at your altimeter and you realize that the time has come to pull the cord. With this part of the journey, the fear factor rises a touch, but since you have personally inspected your parachute those few seconds of fear merge to a comfortable tucked away supportive feeling, as the deploy of your chute took place with flawless textbook results. Poof! With your landing site in view the best part of the journey arrives, the awesome supported trip to the tarmac target.

"What a journey," you think as you land with a soft and gentle wind assisted thud. You think to yourself again, again. I want to go again. This was the best adventure I ever had the privilege to partake. Well this thousand mile journey is over but not without its merits.

There was the well thought out preparation and planning. The professional instruction and practice, the gear check and the confidence factor, all which led you to the successful feeling you now possess. Job well done! Job well done!
Planning works and seeing yourself completing that task before the actual happenstance is always a good idea to keep the focus factor in place.
