Life is what happens while you are making other
plans. I have devoted a lot of space in this column to
planning and goal setting. Reality offers an endless barrage
of diversions, detours, challenges, and obstacles.
This fact doesn’t negate the benefit of preparation. It
simply requires an understanding of the type
of forces at work.
A sailor would be remiss if he didn’t understand
how to handle storms, currents, tides,
sandbars, fog, and darkness. Although the sailor
has a clear destination in mind, the sea has
its own characteristics that can’t be avoided or
overcome. Should a mariner deny its existence
his time afloat is certainly limited.
