If we were to set a goal destination and set our feet on that path it is doubtful we'd be overly successful in reaching that goal without making adjustments along the way, just like driving.

True! When you set a goal, in order to get there from where you are now, you really need to adjust. It's either your attitude, values, or whatever it may be.

For me, desiring to reach a goal without any adjustment is like being greedy in life, you want to gain something, but you're not willing to give anything.
