If you don't have a destination in mind, how do you know you're not already there. Without vision we meander about in life. Without a why, a purpose some point in mind we will struggle to find meaning in our everyday existence. We do what's in front of us each and everyday, but we need to validate that there is a point. Setting a vision gives you control of the direction you want to take in life. Effective goals point to that vision. By looking at what we are doing in our daily lives we can evaluate if we are headed in the right direction.
