Congratulations on this post being chosen as post of the day on @r2cornell's Discord Community.

Love your article. I have used goal planning for many years, especially when I was in my 20's. Setting goals (in writing) is like a road map to where we want to go and what we want to achieve in different areas of life.

I wrote a list of goals when I was finishing up my Master's degree...It was years later I found that list of goals and was amazed on how I had achieved every goal I had set for myself.

There are times you have a goal set and life steers us in a different direction...I recall I was pursuing something with my career and life kept pushing me in a different direction...I finally decided to "go with the flow", and surprisingly life led me to achieving one of my goals.
