A few years ago, my son Jayce and I went to a Seattle Seahawks game. It was one of those unforgettable father-son moments, filled with excitement, and capped off with a victory. As the final seconds ticked away, we decided to get ahead of the crowd and make a run for the bus that would take us to our parked car. With a sense of triumph, we jumped on, feeling pretty clever about outsmarting so many others.
But there was one problem: WE GOT ON THE WRONG BUS.
Instead of heading toward our car, we ended up miles away from where we needed to be. Embarrassed and frustrated, we sheepishly got off the bus, and after two hours and a costly detour, we finally made it home—tired, confused, and much later than planned.
The lesson here is simple: In life, it’s crucial to get on the right bus. It’s easy to rush ahead, thinking we’re on the right path, only to realize later that we’ve gone in the wrong direction.
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Katherine Anne Porter once said,?“I am appalled at the aimlessness of most people’s lives. Fifty percent don’t pay any attention to where they are going; forty percent are undecided and will go in any direction. Only ten percent know what they want, and even all of them don’t go toward it.”
So, how do we make sure we’re heading in the right direction? Let me suggest a simple yet powerful 90-day plan to help you set and achieve your goals.
Remember: Goals are the compass that guide us toward our purpose, transforming it into our dominant inspiration.
