I've not an English native speaker and anyway I understand all he says.
The Beatles put that in practice, for instance, not much later. Always with the goal in his mind. "Where are we going?" "Where John? (Lennon)""To the toppermost of the poppermost!", was his usual motto.
"living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see..." Stop and think was the main message of the Beatles.
Do you know where I'm going?
