Dean Graziosi explains why people without clear goals slip into defensive mode, protecting themselves from threats instead of pursuing opportunities. He argues you need both protection and proactive action to build the life you want.

If you are not clear on where you want to go in life, you will spend your entire life avoiding potholes in the road rather than driving to your destination. It's a habit. It's the way their subconscious is designed. Our subconscious is programmed to focus on what's wrong and try to overcome it. We are designed. I believe this with all of me. We are designed to play goalie. We are designed to protect, not go out and grab the ball and try to score down the other end of the field. When the world shifts like it has recently, we can tend to fall back into the goal and just wait until someone, oh my God, here comes. Let me stop this. Let me protect. Let me stop. Let me stop. You can't win the game of life. Abundance, joy, happiness, income by playing goalie only. Do you have to protect? Yes, but you have to get out on the field and go down and you have to score against the other opponent, or you have to score in life to win.
