We are often told to aim high in life, but we must aim at what we would hit instead. A general purpose is not enough. The arrow shot from the bow does not wander around to see what it can hit on its way, but flies straight to the mark. ~Og Mandino
We can aim for the stars, but without clear vision and focus, our energies will be scattered. What are we really reaching or aiming for anyway? That is something we must decide for ourselves. And once we do, we can make plans on how to attain our goals. All the while, we keep our focus on the specific purpose for which we envision and aspire toward. Suppose, for example, that you decide to go to college. A general goal may be to lose some weight and get into shape and/or to change our eating habits. That is a great aim and desire, but it will remain just that until it is made more specific with some steps we can take with short-term and long-term goals. Once we decide on what specific plan or progam we would like to use, we will begin to have a clearer focus and vision for our future. Another general goal may be to earn a college degree. To make it more targeted we would have to decide on a career path we would like to take and the type of degree we would like to earn.
