Helen Keller – Goal-Setting
“A bend in the road is not the end of the road… unless you fail to make the turn.”
Helen KellerBig Idea
Rarely do we achieve our goals by following the exact path we set at the beginning. Instead, we experience twists and turns, confront the unexpected and learn to adapt along the way. Unforeseen events sometimes inspire us to refocus and change our goals. Other times, we ignore distractions, push through and continue along the path with the original goal firmly fixed in our mind. We never really know when it is best to adapt our plans or when we should maintain focus in the midst of uncertainty.
