Where are you going..Part 1

Simple but profound question that has been ringing in my head this week. Where am I going?

If I live my life the way I've lived it for the last 24 hours, where would I be going?

If I continued on the path I'm going on now, where would I end up?

If I've got 4 different destinations on a piece of paper, how am I going to reach all of them?

Reality Checks have the potential to be the most hurtful things that you do to yourself, yet it can also be the most beneficial move you make to your life and save you time. The question "where are you going" is a very deliberate statement. It doesn't state where do you hope to go, or even where you intend to go but rather states where are you going. It is a question that deals with now!!!

The main reason for this question is due to the amount of talking I've heard myself and others do without action to follow up. Alot of us know how to talk about our dreams and what we want to do in the future, but when asked are you doing what is neccessary to achieve this, you'll usually find that theres a different answer. From my own experience, I know that this happens for a number of reasons, which I won't go into.

To think about exactly where you are going/ heading is a great way to be prepared and know where your going for your future. It's like an audit. Your looking at your current position and your current activity and seeing where it'll take you. It helps you focus on how you're gonna get to where your going.

Theres no point in saying your heading for success but then you sit in front of the tele day in, day out. Thats actually madness if you think you'll go anywhere. Instead, be honest with yourself. How many hours are you spending on getting to your destination per day, week, month etc. It kinda scares me when people say they want to be succesful in their field or own a business, but most of their time is spent on something completely contrary. This type of thing has gotta be stamped out. I'm not suggesting that everyone becomes boring workaholics, however I do believe that when you say you've got a destination, you must be on that path and if you stray off of it you will find it hard to get back onto it again.

Think of a sat nav. If you type in a particular destination, and it shows you a route there (which usually is the quickest route, unless you tried to skip the "toll charge" :P) if you stray from it, the sat nav quickly sets another route. However, this other route it sets out is usually longer or requires you to get back onto the previous route from before. The key lesson here is, if we don't do what we're supposed to be doing first time round, we'll have to spend more time getting back on track. The age-old saying "I'll do it later" is killing so many dreams day by day, all because we never considered our real destination in saying it. I will write more on this subject, but in the meantime I leave you with this note...
