"As goals, predictions, hopes, or dreams to be sealed up and filed away, fine. But as a day-to-day preoccupation they're a waste of time, stealing attention and effort from the present and squandering it on the future. You control the former, not the latter." -- John Wooden
Actually, I think that the key here is "preoccupation" to the extent that it distracts you from doing the necessary work. Goals are useful, and powerful motivating tools whether we're talking about exercise or sales or Christmas gifts. Vision and goals lead to reality, as long as we're smart enough to think long and hard about how to get there.
