Our goals have a terrain of their own and are laid out on the terrain of our lives. How does this principle help? It helps us not take things personally when things go wrong, because it’s just terrain. It helps us be able to zoom out and back in to gain perspective. Even though the unexpected will happen it’s still important to plan out our goals. Plans don’t predict. They prepare. It’s important to plan goals not because they predict how things will turn out, but because they give us sign posts for where we are going so we have direction and can prepare for the unexpected. As we learn to embrace the messy middle of terrain, it actually becomes enjoyable. We are goal oriented creatures. We are built for this. We are built to move toward the things we want in the future. And we are built to be agile and flexible when our plans don’t go as planned.
