Look Where You’re Going in 2020
A couple of decades ago I was a mid life crisis, I suppose, and bought a couple of motorcycles. I wanted to be safe riding them, so I took a rider safety course. One of the instructors uttered a phrase which has become very important for me ever since: “Look where you’re going, cause you’ll go where you’re looking.” This is directly applicable to riding motorcycles because your head and vision determines where the bike will go.
I have found it to be applicable to many things in life as well, including running a business or general goal setting. As we begin a new year and a new decade, it’s time to determine where we want to go, so “Look Where You’re Going” seemed to be appropriate. You really will “Go Where You’re Looking” so make sure you’re looking in the right direction. Develop a place you want to go, or a thing you want to accomplish this year (Look Where You’re Going) and then keep yourself focused on it.
The biggest obstacle I have found is distraction. Distractions are everywhere! If we pay too much attention to what others are doing, particularly on social media, we can begin to lose our focus or think that our goals should be changed to match what others are doing.
The only thing that matters is WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Who cares what anyone else is doing. Set a path and then stick to the path, regardless of what others are doing. Only you know what’s best for you, and what and how you will accomplish something.
If you’re not sure where you should look, something that helps me is to determine what brings you the most joy, fulfillment and happiness. That’s your inner spirit giving you direction. Never discount what your heart is telling you, or those “nudges” that you feel.
If you can determine a natural path for yourself and not get distracted, I guarantee you can accomplish anything you want to. Love and Blessings to all of you for 2020!
