The Principle of the Path (S P/G)(NYR 3)

The Principle of the Path by Andy Stanley came from the recommended reading list of Dave Ramsey. It is a great philosophy and very much a focus oriented process. So many times growing up, the focus from mentors/teachers/parents were to set goals, but not many (if any) words were spent talking about the path to get there. It seems so simple when you read the book, but I realized that while obvious once I read it, I seemed to be oblivious to this until Stanley points it out. Basically the premise is in order to achieve something your actions must match the steps going toward the goals (i.e. if weight loss is your goal, then eating fast food too much is not on the path to that goal). This great for people who are good at creating goals, but maybe not so great at connecting the dots from where they are at to where they want to get.
