Like A Compass

You have always moved forward, haven't you? Through grave disappointments, severe heartaches and failed plans. It may have taken a year or 15, but eventually, you walked passed it and moved forward. You did it, you compass you.

A compass by definition, is an instrument which has a magnetized needle which always points north, used to help you find direction. In undesirable and unexpected situations, people are compasses. Whenever we need direction we point north and like many we may stagger and lose our way but ultimately we find our true north.

You may think that this is just another motivational bullshit and maybe it is, but think this through. Despite the compass, people never really wander for long, at some point focus is needed and we always move forward, yes, even when it seems impossible.

For instance, people who had to fight against Adolf Hitler when he led the world into the most devastating war in history, and today, well the world might not be rosey but we are one steps further from cruelty. Computer geeks and enthusiast who dropped out of school to pursue something they couldn't explain had to move forward to lead us to a world with Apple and Microsoft. Martin Luther King Jnr and Nelson Mandela had to move forward to drive against segregation. Even players do not play forever, they eventually want to settle, pain eases up, wounds heal, wars end, and even vogue changes. There is always a new focus and by doing that a step is taken forward and direction is changed.

When you are in gruesome situations and points where things do not go according to plan, know that that is when you should follow your inner compass.
