There are so many ways to reach our general goals that just going through the motions of reaching a goal feels like we are actually moving toward the goal we want to reach.
Say I want to make $10 million dollars a year for the rest of my life. There are so many ways to achieve that goal from so many different paths that if I were to try and plan a path that isn't guaranteed to succeed I would spend all my time planning and never any time actually doing things.
That's exactly why we do things, because thinking and planning are good and nice but if that's all you do you'll never end up doing any of the things that might help you reach your goals.
