^The PATH is made ready before the JOURNEY is made: another
  thought on the idea (from my long winded posts/comments): This
  is why PLANS that are TOO SPECIFIC (depend on too many people
  doing exactly the right thing at just the right time) USUALLY
  FAIL. It is not nature's approach. For an idea to work, you have
  to SET up the ENVIRONMENT to be right first, which accomodates
  for MANY possibilities (even ones you can't plan on) but that
  all will lead to your end goal. Yes, I love 'getting' a concept
  like this: It makes a lot of things make a lot of sense all at
  once.^
