“If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
It seems like everyone is working on something or working toward something. Even those just trying to get through the day have that as their goal. When you stop and think about it, that’s all of us. The thoughtful question that arises is, “What are you trying to achieve?” Surviving is an acceptable short-term goal, but it's no way to live a life. Just trying to make it to the next dawn is neither inspiring nor fulfilling. So, what’s it all about?
It's important to have goals and milestones in life to find happiness. Some people are focused on material success, fame, and wealth, while others are more interested in personal growth and fulfillment. Whatever your perspective, it's crucial to regularly evaluate whether your approach is working for you. What made sense in your younger years may no longer be relevant as you get older. It's perfectly normal to change your goals and priorities as you mature and gain new experiences, so you can better align with the person you are becoming each day.
Here is a method to examine your current life and engage in some self-reflection:
Consider your daily routine and outline your objectives for the next month and the year's end.
Review the goals you set at the beginning of the year and their corresponding timeframes.
Identify areas in your daily routine that need improvement to be in line with your intended vision. Remove unnecessary activities and incorporate new ones to expedite your goal achievement, if feasible.
It might seem simple, but each of the three steps mentioned above can be quite challenging to contemplate and journal about. However, it's important to do so, as it's a great way to gain insight into your life and make necessary changes. Without regularly assessing your life, it's difficult to know where you're headed and why you're doing what you're doing. This can leave you feeling lost and directionless, which is not a desirable way to live. By clarifying things for yourself, you can take control of your direction and decide where to go next and how quickly you want to get there. Open your sails and let the wind guide you in the right direction. Take the helm and embark on the new adventures of your choosing!
