Summary
Today, Tom Morris reveals one of the universal conditions for success. Drawing wisdom from the wisest sages of all ages, he shares the importance of having a clear goal or a target. You may dream big dreams, but if you have no vivid vision of your dreams, then you’re simply going nowhere. As Seneca put it, “No wind blows in favor of a ship without direction.” Have a clear conception of what you want to do.
Tom shares the fundamental insights relevant to goal setting. Apparently, too many people waste their time running after the wrong thing. Which is why it’s so important to know thyself and invest in self-knowledge. Finally, know that you always deserve the best. DO NOT allow what is very good to keep you from what is best.
