September 10th

True warriors always know where they are going. The true warrior does not like to just wander about without direction or purpose. How about you? Do you have a compass? What is your compass? How do you monitor your course? How do you correct it? What is your system?

Do you even need a compass? Why not just get up each day and wander aimlessly through your life? Many do. Look around you. Can you tell who has a compass and who doesn’t? What do those who have good compasses look like? Do they look like they know where they’re going? Do they look like they know where they’ve been? Do they look like they know where they’ve come from?

You already know that it’s all about the journey, and of course, you have a damn fine compass and consult it regularly. You use it religiously, don’t you? Don’t you? You never leave home without it. Do you? You never plan without consulting your compass. Do you?

Mistake 101 – Uh oh … no, don’t say it. Don’t tell me you forgot it. Don’t tell me you forgot about it … forgot to look at it, figured you didn’t need it, or figured you knew where you were going!

The true warrior practices and demonstrates the full and effective use of their compass at all times. The true warrior never gets lost, never forgets, and knows how to befuddle the compass of his competition.

You are warriors. Your direction, game plan, business plan, and life strategy (along with your moral and spiritual guidebook) become the tools that allow you to build your compass. Warriors, when you awaken, consult your higher power and follow your compass without fail. Your compass is your guide, your feedback loop, and your sounding board. A well-constructed compass will not fail you! With such a fine compass, you cannot help but have amazing success in life. So it has been written.
