Navigate your life well.
It’s not the goals that really matter
but the direction in which you sail.
Keep the steering wheel of your life firmly – in your own hands.
Your inner compass will show you the way.
Don’t think too much about the future.
Think about whether you are managing your life well – today.
It’s up to you.
To wait for something or to desire something
– it means living in the future.
It’s to be eternally restless,
eternally absent.
It’s a pursuit of something that will quench your thirst only for a short while.
For a small moment it will give you joy and pleasure,
which people confuse with happiness.
And so…until the next chase.
Because the more someone has, the more they want.
And the more anxious he becomes.
And happiness comes when you don’t desire,
but you can be happy with what you have.
The most important things in life are easily accessible.
You just need to be able to notice and appreciate them.
Think about the future only as something good.
Because if you sail well, something good will always happen to you.
The intermediate goals you achieve are only like buoys on the water.
Like signposts that you pass… and move on.
They are merely confirmation that you are sailing well.
Nothing more.
Do the best you can – right now.
And ask yourself a simple question often:
„What would a wise man do in my place?”
And no matter how difficult your situation was,
let this question be a hint for you.
Adapt navigation to the situation,
because many things do not depend on you at all.
And get back to your course.
Live well today – this one day.
That’s what you try to do your best.
And live like that every day.
And your whole life will consist of days well lived.
And let each of these days contain all that what is really important to you.
Don’t worry about the rest.
And don’t worry about what you can’t control.
Don’t waste your precious time.
One day is like a whole life.
Steer it like a yacht.
Enjoy just sailing in your chosen direction.
If you understand this, you have already achieved your success.
Not sometime there, …in the future,
but right now – in this one moment.
Swim calmly ahead – today.
With beautiful memories of yesterday
and with the hope of experiencing the beautiful moments ahead of you.
But without thinking about them too much.
Remember – You are where your mind is.
Life surprises – it’s its nature.
Sometimes it brings joy and sometimes pain.
Sometimes there’s a storm, sometimes there’s beautiful sunshine.
Look often at the readings of the measuring instruments from the cockpit of your yacht.
Trust them.
It’s like looking at yourself
and verification of your habits, methods, skills, knowledge…
Finally, the way of thinking itself.
This is what determines the direction of your life.
So much is changing around
but some values remain unchanged.
They are like the laws of nature.
So try to be human in every situation.
This is the most important.
Everything else is by the way…
If you navigate your life this way,
then in the darkest night
and in the worst storm,
you will be sure
that you navigate well.
And even if you don’t see anything anymore,
there is the compass inside you.
It will guide you.
After the sun, comes the storm.
After the storm, the sun comes.
You – you keep sailing,
towards the light…
