“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road’ll take you there” said the Cheshire Cat to Alice.
That’s the essence of why taking the time and energy to set a vision matters.
The quote is actually a popular paraphrase – here’s the full conversation.

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” asked Alice.
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where–” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
“–so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added as an explanation.
“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”
