Close your eyes. 
Imagine being blindfolded and then ask to drive a car across town in the middle of rush hour all by yourself. Imagine having no sight and asked to read a book but it was not coded in braille, you didn’t know braille and you had no one to read it to you.
It would be pretty difficult to get the task completed wouldn’t it? This is what we often do in our business and even our personal lives. We want to make something happen but we go around with blinders on with no direction.

No plan. No direction. 
No steps to even start walking toward the destination.

Many times we are not blind folded full-time but yet there are moments where we feel like in the middle of driving the car, all of the sudden, someone reaches behind us in the back seat and envelopes the cloak of darkness over our eyes. All, of the sudden we become unfocused. Unsure. Frightened. Out of control. Unable to know where to turn.

This is why environment and the people you surround yourself is important. Sure we could have that happen to us while in the driver seat but if your most trusted confidant was in the front seat with you what would that look like? Maybe they would slide closer in the seat to you so they could take over the wheel. Maybe they would say “move your foot off the accelerator and I will set the pace”. Maybe they would just cut the strings of the blind fold and give you back your VISION.

Think about that as you look around you and evaluate who is beside you in your travels. It can make all the difference in reaching your destination and enjoying the ride along the way.
