Welcome back to my high-flying newsletter! The only weekly post that has trouble finding planet earth…
Following a 3-2-1 approach, it contains 3 ideas from me, 2 quotes from others, and 1 dad joke that’s so bad it’s good!
Let’s begin!
3 Thoughts:
1) Your comfort zone is where your dreams go to die.
2) The secret to a good relationship is maintaining a suitable distance. You can think of it like sitting next to a camp fire. If get too close you’ll become hot and irritable.
However, if you stray too far you’ll no longer feel the warmth. You’ll end up cold and alone.
We need our privacy and independence otherwise we start to feel resentful, but we also need to make time for each other – to keep the flames alive.
3) In aviation, there’s a flying technique known as crabbing.
Let’s say you’re flying towards a destination due west of your current position. In nil wind conditions you would select a heading of 270 and set sail.
However, if you have a crosswind from the north you would need to choose a heading, depending on the strength of that crosswind, north of 270. Otherwise, the wind will blow you off track.
Aiming for the future works the same.
To become the person you’re meant to be you must aim at an ideal version of yourself. You have to strive towards an outlandish vision. If you aim for what’s realistic, the crosswinds of life will blow you south of that destination.
The only way to find out who you’re meant to be is to aim as high as possible and then see where you land.
