“If you don't know where you're going, you'll end up somewhere else”.  Yogi Berra

 

Why is planning important?

World famous explorer and adventurer John Goddard made a list he called “his life list.” It listed 127 goals he wanted to accomplish in his lifetime.

Some were simple, such as “become an eagle scout #23”, others quite ambitious, such as “learn to fly an airplane #113” and still others, extreme “visit the moon” #125. During his lifetime, John Goddard accomplished 109 of his 127 life list goals during his 89 years.

“The road to someday leads to the town of nowhere.” Tony Robbins

 

Why taking action is important?

One of the most amazing things about John Goddard is that he wrote his list on a rainy day at age 15. Not only did he develop the record, but he also added action and a deadline for each goal.

John wrote down at what age he wanted to accomplish each goal and set about developing a plan of action to achieve them. His fulfilled goals often developed differently than he envisioned, often encountering obstacles. He would say “I have a problem, what's good about it?” Asking this question allowed Goddard to overcome the barriers rather than being stopped by them.
