Welcome to The Daily Quote – I'm Andrew McGivern.Today's quote comes from Yogi Berra.For those who don't know, Yogi was a legendary baseball player and Hall of Fame catcher for the New York Yankees. But he's equally famous for his quirky, paradoxical sayings that sound silly at first but reveal deep truths.This is one of his best:”If you don't know where you're going, you might end up someplace else.”On the surface, this sounds absurd. Of course if you don't know where you're going, you'll end up somewhere else. That's how directions work.But that's exactly Yogi's genius. He's stating the obvious – and forcing us to realize we're ignoring it.Most people are walking through life without a clear destination. They're busy. They're moving. They're doing things. But they haven't actually decided where they're trying to go.So they end up somewhere. Just not where they wanted to be.You can't aim at nothing and hit something meaningful. You can't drift toward excellence. You can't accidentally build the life you want.Without a clear direction, every path looks equally valid. Every opportunity seems worth taking. Every distraction feels justified. And ten years later, you look around and wonder how you got here.Yogi's telling us: define your destination first. Get clear on where you're actually going. Because if you don't, you'll still end up somewhere – you just won't like where that somewhere is.So here's the question: Where are you going? Not where are you drifting. Not where life is taking you. Where are YOU going?Because if you don't decide, you'll still arrive somewhere. Just probably not where you want to be.That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern – I'll see you in the next one with another Daily Quote.
