A map tells you where things are. A compass tells you which way you’re facing. You need both.

Position and direction are two separate pieces of information, and you need both to move. Knowing where everything is does not tell you which way you are facing, and knowing your heading tells you nothing about what lies ahead of it. People usually have one and not the other. Some know exactly what they value and nothing about their options. Others know every option and cannot say what they want.

Work out which one you are short of. Then get it this week, either by asking somebody who knows the landscape or by writing down what matters to you.
