Every activity requires some level of preparation. A decision to act. A choosing of the target. A plan, however informally developed. But, there is preparation before we move.
Tomorrow, I’m skiing. That’s a decision made, a target chosen. I am skiing with my two daughters. Now, there needs to be a more formal plan. Get the gear ready, pick a departure time, coordinate with friends.
In life, too, we need to pick targets. If we pick too many, or if they are fuzzy in our minds, they will be much more difficult to hit. Plans will be more difficult to determine. We’re not likely to hit any of them.
Tomorrow, I’m skiing. With my girls. So, it’s time to get started in the process of preparation. What are you doing?
Let’s go!

Wow, Steve! It’s like skiing a mogul run. Pick your line, mark the top of your target mogul with your ski pole, then slide down. “If we pick too many, or if they are fuzzy in our minds, they will be much more difficult to hit. Plans will be more difficult to determine. We’re not likely to hit any of them.”
In many ways, life is more like a mogul field than a waterfall!
