I don’t care if you’re Bruce Willis in Die Hard 2, if you don’t have a clear vision of who you are and where you are going, you have have no hope in hell of getting anywhere. If you are successful it’s purely out of luck. I love the quote from Alice in Wonderland:
One day Alice came to a fork in the road and Saw a Cheshire cat in a tree.
“Which road do I take?” she asked.
His response was a question:
“Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t know,” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.”
– Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
If you don’t know where you’re going it’s going to be difficult to get anywhere. In life you must set goals, have a direction or a general purpose. The more you know about where you’re going, the easier decision making is when you come to the fork in the road.
