Find a direction

It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly.

I see this as a description of life.

There's no point in working away for years and years only to find that what you're achieving isn't what you actually want.

I recently did a thought exercise where I imagined witnessing my own funeral; more to the point I heard what my family, friends, business associates and acquaintances said about me in their speeches. The point of the exercise was to ask yourself: what would you like to hear? How would you like them to remember you? Once I answered those questions I started to realise what kind of life I wanted to live.

Such insights give one direction, clarity...
