Some stay where they are, some fly but don’t know where to land. Only those with a destination will ever get anywhere.
If you take the plane, without a destination, and land in Alaska. How do you know where you are? If you have to ask around to know where you’re at, that’s not really being in control of your life.
If you want to go to Hawaii, and land in Alaska, you know you’re not in the right place. Why? Because even if you’ve never been to Hawaii, you did research that gave you an idea of how the destination should look like.
The same principle can be apply with your goals.
