Are you restless with your current state? Are you feeling stuck? Are you resting on the achievement of yesterday? Do you feel you have more in you and yet you seem to be stagnant. The key to addressing these questions you have been struggling with is to navigate forward and onward without allowing yourself to make excuses for your current situation or state. Navigating forward with purpose, determination and consistency will get you out of your current situation.
The word to navigate is to steer, traverse, direct, or pilot. In a world filled with challenges and opportunities, the temptation to stay put, rest, or do nothing and wait for things to change when you should be the one to change can be very strong. It takes courage, resiliency, determination, persistence, and perseverance to keep navigating forward in the direction of your leadership journey, taking your company forward, writing that book or whatever project you may be working on.
I was watching television the other day when a comedian made a comment about how they make people laugh and happy and then get back to their hotel feeling lonely and lost after the event. Some have committed suicide not knowing how to continue with life. Navigating forward is even more urgent these days because of all we went through the past few years and what others are going through.
As a leader, you need to learn to navigate forward amidst the challenges, as a business you need to move forward despite the various obstacles, as a family you need to keep moving forward because its only in navigating forward where you will breakthrough and achieve your goals. There are times when knowing the path to follow may not be clear. But you must keep navigating in the hope that you will get to the other side.
In this podcast I share a few nuggets on what to do to effectively navigate forward. The solution you are looking for is right ahead of you. Have a fantastic week and keep navigating forward.
