A checkpoint is when you can analyze where you are at and you see if you are working in a good direction, making progress, or need to make a few changes. So why do I call it the GPS drill?
Well let's think about what a GPS does. When you turn the GPS on, what is the first thing it does? Think about this! Because some people forget this first part of being a GPS. A GPS first configures with the satellite to figure out it's current location. It finds out where it is RIGHT NOW.
The second thing the GPS does is it asks you where would you like to go. You have to enter the location in which you want to go, but are not at this present time. So you specifically enter the state, city name, street name and number of the building. You go right down to those little details.
Then the third and last thing the GPS does is tell you exactly how to get to your location. And in most instances it gives you the simplest and quickest way to get to your target location as possible.
Let's blow this idea of a GPS out into a bigger picture! Many times in life, we have to ask ourselves the right questions. I wrote a blog about free will to thinking and how we have the ability to choose our thoughts and we should choose to make those thoughts positive, and I also wrote a blog on focusing on your thoughts to a point where you get exactly what you think no matter whether it is positive of negative. But he actual act of thinking is the asking of questions! I will elaborate more at a later time, but I think this is a good way to start.
Whenever you do something in your life, like my journey to becoming a master and the many lessons I am seeking to learning and understanding to come back to the light, you need to have checkpoints to see where you are at. And you do this by asking yourself three main questions:
1) Where am I now?
2) Where do I want to go?
3) How am I going to get there?
You cannot change the order of these questions. You have to identify where you are at RIGHT NOW. If you don't know where you are this very instant, you will never be able to compare or calculate the direction in which you want to take in anything in your life, or make a definite plan of action to go anywhere else. Simple, yet effective. Just like turning on that GPS, it has to configure where it is NOW before telling you anything else.
Then the second question is asking yourself, "Where do I want to go?" Many people find themselves lost, but this is a great way to figure it out. Most people don't ask themselves this very simple yet powerful question! And don't be vague. Vague questions, dreams, prayers, etc only get you vague results. Get as specific and detailed as you can, like a GPS gets right down the the very last bit of information it needs. The state. The city. The number. The street. So ask yourself, "Where do I want to go?" What are your goals? And don't ever limit yourself!
And then finally, another question people don't bother to ask is "How do I get there?" Ask the question and you will find your answer! And the more you focus on that question, the deeper your thoughts, the more this question gets answered. yet another lesson to discuss later on. You have to understand that once you identify where you are at now, and decide where you want to go you have to figure out how you can get there, and the answers are always there when you look hard enough to find them. Your dominant thoughts of your end result will bring up answers you would never have thought of before!
It's an amazing lesson! Try it out! Be a GPS, and let me know how it works out for you!
Yours in service,
