#391: Two great quotes: “A goal without a plan is just a wish” and “Never confuse effort with results” These statements are critical in all aspects of life because without a goal and a clear plan to achieve that goal, our efforts will be inefficient and likely to fail. Your efforts will also have no basis for learning how to do things better next time. Goals and plans are not needed for everything, but when it comes to the bigger things, such as turning around a marriage or making a great marriage even greater, clear goals and plans are essential.
