We have perhaps a natural fear of ends. We would rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means, we hang on to them and often forget the ends.

I consider a goal as a journey rather than a destination. And each year I set a new goal.

It's a long old road, but I know I'm gonna find the end.

Without having a goal, it's difficult to score.
