If the ground doesn't guide you then other things will !!!!

Life teaches you important lessons at the weirdest occasions and when you least expect (and then these becomes experiences and learning that you cherish and LIVE for) ….. My trekking trip forced me to sit back and think and reach the following conclusion:

Normally a trek requires you to follow a certain trail on the ground. This not only prevents you from losing your way but also leads you on the path that is most often used and hence tried and tested. (This also reminds me what I once spoke on Burn the grass below the ground that you walk on --- A feed for another post)

But an interesting thing that I noticed this time around was that if the ground doesn't guide you, i.e. you cannot find a trail then certain other elements will definitely guide you....

For example: you can take guidance from the electricity poles that would have been put up the whole way (I call this the POLE to POLE approach).  All you have to do is to move along the laid down electricity lines and that will make sure that you will not lose your way (But yes you may need to face the resistance offered by the shrubs, stones and boulders).  And you will be able to lead your way to the TOP of the mountain/hill :). This can also prove to be the best / shortest way too.

Taking the above example as an analogy, I would say the same applies to Strategy, Business and Career. All one has to do is the following:

~ Always look for clues.  Keep your senses and mind alert, open and receptive to anything new and unusual.

~ Look at everything with Business Acumen

~ Be confident of yourself and have faith

~ Always aim to reach the SUMMIT. Keep your goals high and your aspirations higher.
