But you need to know two things.

You need to know where you are in the moment, not where you were five minutes ago, five days ago, or five weeks ago.

You need to know where you are right now, and you need to have an end address.

Where am I going?

Those are the only two points you need.

And then once you have those two points, you don't need to worry about either one of them.

What you need to do now is pay attention to the directions.

And listen to every turn that you're supposed to make.

And of course, the beauty with this analogy is if you're like me and kind of directionally dysfunctional, you're probably going to take a wrong turn.

And then what happens?

It reroutes.

It just reroutes.

So the GPS doesn't get angry at you.

It doesn't call you an idiot.

It just simply reroutes.

And it puts you back on that course.

And that's ultimately what all of us should be trying to do is pursue our North Star by focusing on the steps and directions it takes to get there.

And when you misstep or you make a wrong turn, don't get upset over it.

Just move to the next play and take the next direction to reroute.

Well, we need to make sure we're protecting both time and energy.
