3. The compass of Life
COMPASS
North
East
South
West
A compass is a guide
that helps you to locate
yourself and reach your
destination.
All humans have an
internal compass that
works even though the
person is unaware of it.
Sometimes, it helps you
to make a decision.
Other times, it compells
you to do a certain task.
Knowing the compass
can help a person to
improve his or her life
and live happily.
4. North: where are you heading?
Knowing your destination gives
power to your journey. That is
called a vision.
The main challenge is to have
determination to get to your
vision. That comes when your
future objective is giving benefit
to many and is aligned to your
own values.
Visualize yourself in the future
and understand what is
expecting you there. Prepare
yourself by developing proper
values to live that future life.
5. South: what can influence your journey?
Your values come from your
childhood, culture, family and
society in general. That has
been defining your journey in
many aspects. Knowing it helps
you to change what is needed.
The main challenge is to align
the yearning of the soul to reach
a future point and the reality of
the person.
Spirituality can help you to
change values and to redefine
your personality, so that you
can reach your ultimate goal.
6. East and West: how to balance
life?
Real spirituality is always
practical and useful in day-to-
day life. Spiritual knowledge
and wisdom help you at times
of difficult decision-making.
Sometimes we tend to go too
much into the East and life
turns unreal… At other times,
we tend to lose touch with our
own wisdom and become
engrossed into life.
Meditation can help you
balance both, by giving you the
chance to explore the self and
understand the self even more,
which helps at a time of
practical decisions.
