Three Things Needed to Attain a Goal Minute

This Minute is meant for Scouts BSA.

"I want to go somewhere."

"I want to go somewhere."

That's my statement. Do you think I'll get anywhere? Probably not, since I don't know where I want to go.
I need three things to get somewhere:

1. I need to know where to go.
2. I need to know which direction to go.
3. I need to get up and GO.

On a hike, its easy. I want to hike to the top of the mountain over there. I use my compass to set the direction. I start hiking. I check the compass reading once in awhile to make sure I'm on track.

The same steps are used for any destination. 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' You first need to decide on the destination - Engineer, Teacher, Fireman, ... Then, learn what skills are required - spray a hose, drive a firetruck, rescue kittens, ... Then, go ahead and Do It - take classes, go to fireman school, join a department.

You need three things: a destination, a direction, a drive to get it done.
