Without a plan for your life, it is easier to follow the course of
least resistance, to go with the flow, to drift with the current with no
particular destination in mind. Having a definite plan for your life
greatly simplifies the process of making hundreds of daily decisions
that affect your ultimate success. When you know where you want to go,
you can quickly decide if your actions are moving you toward your goal
or away from it. Without definite, precise goals and a plan for their
achievement, each decision must be considered in a vacuum. Definiteness
of purpose provides context and allows you to relate specific actions to
your overall plan.
