Do you plan out your life - is it even possible?

Some claim having plans or goals is nonsensical because:

- We constantly evolve and grow.
- Takes the fun and wonder out of life.
- "Man plans, God laughs" - we have no control anyway.

How about this:

Different areas of life can be planned to varying degrees from merely a "Direction" to "Meticulous planning".

Money and finance should be planned as should an education or business launch.

But.... Life goals? 

Here I reckon it's more important to get the direction right. To orient yourself toward them.

Sometimes I have to plan meticulously during the journey, this is often for the shorter term. For the longer term I just keep the general direction.

Columbus is a great example. He did not have an exact plan as he began his voyage - too many unknowns. All he had was an idea and a belief - that the world was round and thus India could be reached via a western route. 

We can't exactly plan for where we will end but we can sail West rather than South, East or North.

I took this picture in 1992 while visiting the American west for the first time. I said at the time. "I want to live here one day". I had no idea how, nor a plan. Ten years later I moved here.

So go ahead and set your course. That's the most important step.
