It’s amazing to me how few people plan anything in their life. That’s a bit like having an auto-pilot in charge really, just meandering from thing to thing, from place to place, from experience to experience. With no goals or destination set, the auto-pilot is just going to keep flying around. You might get lucky and end up in some place you really love, but what’s the likelihood of that?

Imagine for a moment that you are flying around the world… think of the wonderful places you can go and the experiences you’ll have there. Then remember that you have to plan to land at an airport! It’s probably not going to be quite as much fun if you land in the sea, or in a field. You’ll probably spend your time repairing the plane to try and get it back in the air.

So if you have no target, no goals or destination planned, expect to land somewhere you have no wish to be. If you truly want what you want, then switch off your auto-pilot, take the controls and set your target and plan to land at the airport, not in the sea!
