Without setting out what the goal is, it is very hard to know whether you are on track or even when you have done enough.

The world is hardly straightforward, and there is more that contributes to your success than only your own efforts. However, being clear on what needs to be done will help us better appreciate the lucky breaks, recognize the patterns, and act with haste.

That way, we can move closer to our destination, working with and maximizing the effects of our environment.
