It is inaccurate however.  It is not not “no goal.”  It is no attachment to outcome.

I believe Art DeVaney mentioned something in his summary of the Tao.  Something like we can accurately project trajectory.  That is about it.  

I lean toward control and tight reigns as well.  I thought that caused my stress and neurosis.  I was wrong.  Attachment of my self worth to the outcome was my issue.  Detachment gave me an odd sense of peace.  Though, be warned, it also led a girlfriend saying, “Your odd sense of detachment to end results is…well, you have sociopathic tendencies.”  Indeed.Hope you got some skiing in.
