What makes you tick?

“When the heart of a man decides on a destination, his mind will design the map to get him there“

You might be wondering why you need to know what you want in life. Well… nothing comes by chance in life. You need to have a clear picture of where you are going. If you don’t have a clear picture of what you have in life, you will only settle for just anything that comes your way. Everything will be attractive to you and you will always say yes to every opportunity that comes your way.
The story of Neil Armstrong has been told times without number. He stood and looked at the moon and he said to his mother, ‘One day I’m going to go there’. Everybody laughed. He was less than 10 years old and there he was telling people that one day he’d go to the moon. I could imagine what kind of rejections he would have received from people. Many would have told him to forget about it, as space travel didn’t exist at that time never mind traveling to the moon.
