If a ships compass is off by just one degree then it will eventually find itself hundreds of miles off course. After experiencing the thrill of progress, it’s easy for the priority to become maintaining it as opposed to steering it. To avoid getting lost in ambition, we continually re-adjust our aim towards our ever-changing aspirations.
We can see if our trajectory is off only in moments of peace so we sharpen the indispensable skill of maintaining balance. By carving out time to stop all the doing and focus on being, we remember why we’re on this pursuit in the first place. Re-energized and oriented, we’re able to apply what we’ve learned to redesign our map.
