Know where you are, what the next steps are, and how to get to the goal.
The path can be treacherous, and one can be led off the path temporarily or permanently, but this can be avoided by knowing your place and direction in relation to this ideal path. Whenever you feel astray, reconnecting with your mission and purpose can reveal the way back to solid footing on the path of your dreams and goals.
If you do not know where you are, or what your goals are, then you likely are on someone else’s path, working towards someone else’s goals and dreams. Know thy own path, where your ambitions are revealed, developed, and ultimately realized.
