The goal is the journey itself. Enjoy the journey to your big hairy audacious goals(BHAG). The goal is the hard work itself, said by top entrepreneurs. If you are an achiever, it is very painful to do nothing in achieving your BHAG. It is better to fail by trying rather than enduring the pain of regret that you have not done anything to achieve your BHAG.
Be happy now while pursuing your BHAG. Live in the moment but think long term. Successful people think 10 years but ultra-successful people think for the next generations.
