High Conviction Goals, Loosely Held
What I've done wrong in the past has been to have both loosely held goals and paths.
But what I'm now aiming to do is have a strong goal, but the path to take me there should be fluid.
I think the mistake I've done in the past is going after opportunities because I'm in the right place at the right time, without making sure that those opportunities are aligned with my goals.
At the end of the day, as long as you have a certain vision/goal in mind, the path that you should take shouldn't really matter.
