Try to anticipate as many obstacles as you can

Try to anticipate as many obstacles as you can. Remember there will always be obstacles. Learn and grow from the obstacles and try to find the opportunity in them.

— from The Flight Plan (Purpose/Wisdom/Risk)

In the book

A vision statement, at bottom, is just an honest declaration of how you intend to invest your one short life, and the values you hold most deeply are what that vision rests on. Then set the goals that serve it, name the obstacles you are sure to meet, and never forget the people helping you climb. And reach high while you do — it is as much work to pursue something small as something large, so aim for the large. — The Flight Plan (Purpose/Wisdom/Risk)
