Can You See Your Most Distant Mile Markers?

 If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.  For those of you who like to set goals, the question for today is, what is your most distant goal?  Think of your goals as mile markers along the road you are traveling.  The short term goals that you would like to accomplish within the next twelve months are like the highway markers that pop up at .1 miles.  Long term goals that will be accomplished outside of the next twelve months represent how long you think it will take to accomplish.  Mile marker 5 is for five years out.  Mile marker 10 is for ten years into the future.  There are governments that plan for mile marker 100 and beyond.  How about you?

One of the best lessons we can teach the next generation is to help them visualize distant mile markers.  The better we get at setting long term goals, the better teachers we become.  Here's something to keep in mind about mile markers and highways.  If you're looking ahead and you don't like what you see, it's not too late to try a different path.  Have a great day.
