The Key to Navigating to Your Goals
Here's a favorite quote from Leonardo Da Vinci:

"Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind"

No one would ever accuse Leonardo Da Vinci of waffling. He produced a tremendous body of work in a wide variety of disciplines across seemingly contradictory areas of science and art.

How did he do it? He tells us here.

Just as ancient mariners would navigate by setting their eye on the North Star and using that unchanging landmark in the sky to guide them to their goal, he would fix his gaze unflinchingly on a steady, unwavering point and not let anything move him from that course.

We could all learn a lesson from that about setting an unshakable vision of the destination we want to attain.

Too often, we content ourselves with traveling wherever the waves take us instead of setting and following a course to the destination of our choosing. Rather than choosing the destination where we want to land, we set out figuring, "Well, wherever I end up is likely to be better than where I am right now."

We're capable, though, of more than that. We're capable of setting a destination that fits who we are better than any random movement of the waves ever could.

It takes determination and it takes perseverance. But it's possible.

That's why Da Vinci could say what he said. That's why Da Vinci was able to accomplish all he accomplished.
