If you're not thinking about where you want to be, you're not going to get there.
It's like the sophomore album. A band comes out with a killer first album, and the second one just can't quite measure up. Only the high performers make it through, and those people usually have a vision of where they want to be way in the future.
They're not thinking about tomorrow. They're thinking about next year, five years from now, ten years from now.
If it doesn't come naturally, make it a discipline. At least once a year, sit down and examine where you're headed.
There's real value in that. And if you realize you're on the wrong track? You've just given yourself the power to change direction, or at least find something on that wrong path that gets you closer to where you want to go next.
Constantly examining that is what matters.
