“If you get clear on the what, the how will be taken care of.”
― Jack Canfield, The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be
Without a goal, life is like a boat in an infinite ocean with no direction. You’ve no control over the events, and the winds decide where you’ll swift. You may get destroyed by storms without the motivation to pursue a goal.
It’s true that your focus must be on the journey but never drive crazy without a destination. Set a clear goal for three to five years in the future and work daily to achieve that dream.
When we’ve got a clear-cut goal, we follow it with fewer distractions. The subconscious mind knows our anchor amidst every activity we’re following.
There is a mysterious flow of energy within ourselves when we have a dream to follow. We run after it every day, and that makes our lives purposeful. Without a goal, we die doing many things but accomplishing nothing.
Please, never underestimate the power of goal setting. The goal is more important than your effort. It may look fancy to work smart and enjoy doing random tasks, but my dear friend, soon you’ll realize you wasted all those years without accomplishing anything because you didn’t have any well-defined goal to chase.
