"If You Don't Know Where You Are Going, You'll End Up Some Place Else" -Yogi Berra-
This quote interest me in the fact that so many of us really don't know where we want to end up. Some of us believe we have GOALS, but do we really? Sometimes when I look in the mirror I try to figure out if I am really reaching my full potential. Now I believe I have accomplished a lot in my life and career, but how much more could I accomplish if I set more specific GOALS and relentlessly pursued those goals. Life is full of peaks and valleys, but it is those who are able to set GOALS and stay focused that end up where we intended to go.
In athletics, not having a clear goal can be a major road block in reaching championship status. If a team does not have a specific GOAL their chance of ending up on top greatly decreases. Which may be okay for those teams that just want to get by and are okay with mediocrity. But what separates the champions from the rest is that they know where they are going and are committed to do whatever it takes to get there.
Therefore, you must first figure out where you are going and then do what is needed to get there.

I think you make a great statement. I think that when we set goals we have to understand that sometimes there are things out of your control. And while setting goals gives you the direction. There will be many road blocks, but your determination to achieve the goal will get you through many of the road blocks.
While on the flip side dont let the goals be your only thing that drives you. Dont forget to have time to stop and smell the roses. Because at times this gives you a fresh look at the ultimate goal. Because it is how we reach/attain the goal that makes the goal all worth it!!!
Good Points my friend, we must stop and smell the roses from time to time. In my experience though, if you don't have goals you don't have much driving you. I agree that the process is where we gain the experience and makes it all worth it.
