Know where you are going but watch your step. I love it when someone sets a huge goal. So monumental so life changing that you are inspired just hearing them share it. What I caution is from having done this as well as having seen other do it - looking too far into the future and not focusing on the current terrain. It is important that you plan the steps that will get you to the destination. Focus on the changing surfaces you must cross to arrive. Imagine you are looking through binoculars at the top of a mountain you are going to climb, so you keep the binoculars to your eyes while you walk up the mountain. As you can imagine there are parts of loose gravel, brush, maybe a river and if you are not watching your step you will have an abusive climb. It is clear for you and I to see this just does not make sense, but people do it all the time. After so many "slips" they simply give up saying the goal was too big. Take calculated steps toward your goal, be aware of the terrain, check in with your binoculars to ensure you are on path, and just keep moving.
