Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 1727.

Today's episode is a simple reminder that you cannot underestimate the power of direction, knowing where you're going.

Knowing where you're going plays such a huge role for individuals, for teams,

for families, for kids, for students, for leaders, for employees, for athletes, for scientists, you name it.

Knowing where you're going is incredibly important.

Back in the days, voyagers used to use the North Star or Polaris to be the guide and to give them a sense of direction that help them realize

that they're heading in the right direction.

Now, they're not trying to get to Polaris itself.

They're not trying to get into space and travel to the North Star.

They're just using it as a guide.

If they're headed towards a North Star,. If they're headed towards the North Star,

they know they're headed in the right direction. What is your North Star? What is that compass,

that anchor, that no matter where you are, no matter what's going on in your life, if you're

headed that direction, you know you're headed that direction you know you're headed that

you know you're headed the right direction you may not be running there you may not be flying there

you might be stumbling and fumbling and bumbling along the way failing taking a step three steps

forward one step back five steps forward, one step back, five steps forward, two steps back.

But you can rest assured that you're headed in the right direction, making baby steps,

getting 1% better every single day. So my question to you is, are you headed in the right direction?

And if so, how do you know?

What are your indicators? What are your signals that you're headed in the right direction?

And then number two, what little baby steps can you take every day to make sure that you continue on in the right direction.
