Finding Your Right Course
Finding Your Right Course
1. Where am I, right now?
2. Where do I want to be?
3. What are the various ways of getting there?
4. What's the best way for me, right now?
Sometimes, we feel like Cook must have felt, alone, in an immense emptiness, without maps to guide us, wondering what to do. Despite (or perhaps, because of) various electronic guidance devices we feel lost, or confused, and don't know why we're doing what we're doing, or what we really want out of life.
Whenever, I'm in that position, these 4 easily remembered questions come to my aid: even for small stuff, such as driving to a friend's new house; or medium stuff, like an interview with a new prospect; but especially for h3 stuff, such as "Where do I want to be 5 years from now?".
'Cook's 4 questions', as I think of them, are particularly useful at this time, when we're tallying up what we have (or haven't) accomplished in the past year, and are wondering what to do about the coming year.
So ask yourself each question, and think over your answer to it before going onto the next. If you're really serious about discovering whether you're getting closer to your goals, or drifting away from them, write them down, and save both the questions, and your answers to look at in future months to see if you're on the right course.
Who knows? You may be closer to YOUR goals than you think!

1 Over 200 years ago, Captain Cook, in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, with only a compass, and the stars to guide him, must have asked himself these 4 questions:
1. Where am I, right now?
2. Where do I want to be?
3. What are the various ways of getting there?
4. What's the best way for me, right now?
