From a young age we are taught about goal setting and (usually) to have a 5-year plan. The primary reason for this is that, to achieve a goal, it is said that one has to be able to visualize the goal and manifest it in his / her mind over time. More concretely, there are steps that need to be taken to achieve goals and without the goal in mind, the steps to get there would not be clear.
