Set Your Direction, or Others Will Do It For You

By Andrew Wilkin


Ever drive along and wonder why you're heading in the wrong direction?

Typically this the way you go frequently, as you are on auto pilot considering other things. What if you were doing this in other areas of your life, whether you realized it or not?

The Miriam-Webster dictionary has a definition for goal, which states, 'the end towards which effort is directed? Given that lots of folks set targets, it stands to reason that you should set your direction, right?

The gloomy fact of the situation is if you do not set your direction, someone else will, be it your boss, a partner, a friend? You get the picture. Its like you could be driving, but hey they?ve punched where you?re going in the sat-nav.

Before long, you've spent the best part of 20 years in blind alley job, doing what other people wanted you to do, unaware of the fact that all along you've had choice in the matter.

Most people go thru life thinking about all the things they don't want, and yet couching in terms that they believe are positive. Did you know any individual that wants to stop smoking, to drink less, to eat less, and so on. ?

These folk may have thought they have set a direction, but they have not. You can?t drive forwards at speed whilst looking through your mirror.

The more we focus on lacking on something, leaving it behind, giving it up, the more we end up being pulled toward it. You see there is nothing to fill the void, nada to push you forwards, because you have nothing to aim at!

If you're "trying" to lose pounds you ought to be concentrated on what you want to be, and how you'd be acting if you were your perfect weight.

If you'd like to stop smoking, and you spend all your time giving up smoking, concentrating on the cigarettes, it is unlikely to work. Maybe you go for a patch, but then you substitute one problem for another, although not where you wish to be!

What's the lesson here? Set your own direction and focus upon that, and you?re more likely to end up where you need to be.A good way of doing this is the use of online vision boards within Facebook.

So be the driver instead of the driver in your life.
