Your goals should be written and reviewed daily. I write my goals on index cards and keep them in various locations so I am reminded of them on a daily basis. This is a well-known habit of successful people. When I am on the highway and there is a detour, rather than getting upset, to enjoy the sights on the detour. When life takes you on a detour, as it so often does, rather than wasting time sitting in anger to the point where your jugular vein is about to burst, why not enjoy the scenery until you are back on track?
