Goals Versus Action : Our dilemma in life

We as human, are essentially goal striving contraptions. The excitement of setting goals, making plans raise our mood and cause us to let our brain wander through green pastures of hope and pleasant feelings.
After setting our goals, we come back to them often as long as that feeling of joy and delight is still there.
Then the dreaded habituation sets in and that same feeling of joy turns into irritation and vexation, so we turn the page and start sketching out a diagram to yet another novel goal, hoping that it will generate those lost feeling of anticipation and bliss.
Goals should consicesly describe the broad outlines of our endevours.
They should be about the first incipient steps to which we could add greater details as time goes on, and as our involvement in whatever tasks we are immersed in grows.
Planning for goals should be about the first step. We should then drop our pens, store away our notebook or close our favorite planning software, and start executing our initial step. We may occasionally come back to the drawing board to tweak our plans, but the planning and the action should never take place simultaneously. When we plan, we should just plan and when we take action, we should just take action.

As we walk deeper and further into our venture, new paths appear and more solution come to us. The more time we spend planning the further we stir away from our initial goals, because our thinking when we are hunched over our dimly lit desk is based on our limited experience and knowledge.
Action without a plan is far better than a plan without action. We may fumble, stumble and fall and will learn from those experiences.
