Life’s GPS
By Donna
Blevins,
PhD,
and Daniel
Melbourne
Throughout life, people go
from goal to goal and seldom
reach destinations. Science
says that only 8% of people
reach their goals.
Setting a goal is our way of
getting a glimpse at what
we’d like to achieve. Let’s
call our goal the preferred
destination for that particular
journey.
Since our body is the vehicle
and our mind is the driver,
we’re often poor drivers
and miss our target 92%
of the time because our
internal guidance system
malfunctions. Call it Life’s
GPS, and let’s figure out how
to navigate in the flow.
We say we want “that,”
but we overlook a simple
navigation process. We fail
to take stock of our current
situation. Where we are.
Taking proper inventory of
where you are is the most
overlooked part of goal
setting and planning. GPSing
your route requires sober self-
reflection, introspection, and
honesty. You might see things
you don’t like or realize
things you are not proud of.
In traditional self-
improvement systems, the
first step is admitting you
