“Waypoints” are like short little targets.
When you’re navigating with charts, you’ll set up the next “waypoint.” This gives direction, or a “heading” for the boat.
When you look at a chart, say, of the Pacific Ocean, and maybe you are located in Fiji at the time, there is literally infinite possibility. You can go anywhere.
The next step then, is to look at one place that you’d like to go sometime soon, and create your first “waypoint.” When you reach this point, you have a look around… Perhaps the wind has changed a little? Maybe there’s a current?
Still knowing where you’d like to end up, you create a new “waypoint.”
In this way, we set intention, then reflect. Bit by bit, tacking and gybing along the open sea of possibility.
The first step then is to learn to see this possibility.
The next step is to create intent and focus, knowing full well that we’ll be pivoting all along the way.
