"We need to learn to set our course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship." - General Omar N. Bradley, American General
Look at the Stars, Not the Lights
In old days, when compass and other complex instruments weren’t invented, ships used stars and constellations to navigate their path. There are stories of travelers on road navigating to their destination without GPS. Ever heard of the term guiding star? Now you know where that originated from. These sailors and travelers knew exactly one simple thing – to use stars not the lights.
What does this has to do with Personal Change?
Stars represent the vision and that is why we should focus on the vision for personal change. If you follow the light, the short-term goals, you may divert your path and start heading towards the wrong destination. Therefore, learn to set our course by looking at the stars not the lights of every passing ship.
