Outstanding. Reminds me of Marcus Aurelius- "The impediment to action advances action; what stands in the way becomes the way." I needed to read this today. One of those serendipitous timing things. Thanks John!

Erik, that is one of my favorite Marcus Aurelius quotes. Thanks for reminding me of it. I should get it tattooed on my arm so that see it every day.

"The goal isn’t to follow your planned route. The goal is to get to your objective." One of your best lines yet. Man, this is great.

Over the years I've come to believe planning is about understanding the environment you'll be operating in to achieve the objective more than a specific plan to get there
