Especially when you think of the big picture, it is often not easy to keep your focus. We do not live in Utopia, thus obstacles WILL be encountered. This is no reason to be sidetracked from your goal, by thinking of what's coming. If you think about it and anticipate the "threatened danger", you will be better equipped to deal with it when it comes. If you ignore thinking about the possible obstacles, you very possibly will never start working on your goal.
