Creating a plan for what you want is difficult. Sometimes we don't know the answer because we don't know the options. Developing a plan requires that you know yourself and the situation well. Your plan may be to stay where you are, but don't grow stagnant. Make sure you identify ways you can grow and learn. It is about continuous improvement.
We need to understand or at least try to understand where the world is going- challenging, yet not impossible. What are the trends impacting your occupation and industry? Be honest, if you don't know, find out. Warning: this may require that you speak to other people.
You may also want to consider using a tool to help you organize your thoughts. Using SWOT can be helpful. Download swot_analysis_template.pdf
Consider the implications of not creating a plan. Will you fall victim to the decisions of others? Will you feel like you have no control? This is your life, you are in the driver's seat. You can have control, but you need to start being responsible.
