The ability to know what's happening at the moment and analyzing them to take an action means reading the trends.

It makes us able to step back from the disaster that can happen in future.

From personal life to business to investing, reading the trend plays crucial role avoid the massive failure in personal life and business and a huge destruction in investments.

Reading the trend allow us to see not only where the market is but also where does it go and what's the people need. It's as if they can smell change in winds.

There is an old saying, "To lead yourself, use your head; to lead others use your heart." This is about the connection. Connection is about being close to ourselves or others and understanding them and ourselves.

In the business, when we have the good connection with the people, the vision of leader becomes the aspirations of the people .

It's really important to understand it's impact on business or in personal life. If we have vision but we lack connection with ourselves or other people, it ain't work out. So, it's necessary to give before we ask or take from others. Connection is very important in leadership.

There are  few but very crucial things that matters in someone's success:

Character: who we are, our inner Self.
Knowledge: What we know; information.
Relationship: Who we know, how we build relationships.
Intuition: What we feel about the situation, ability to deal with intangibles.
Experience: Where we have been; it's result is knowledge.
Past success: What we've done. small success results in massive success.
Potential: What we can do, ability to stretch ourselves.

Facing the problem means having the audacity to take full responsibility of our actions and understanding and acknowledging that every mistakes can be improved and corrected, every setbacks can be turned around and every failures can be transformed into success. But it begins when we face the context.

Facing the context means facing the truth and stop lying to ourselves. It also means tackling the problems, pains and struggles and understanding that they are the one that take us a step forward.

It is the ability to read our strength, skills, weakness and the current state of mind.

As James Russel Lovell once said, "No one can produce great things who is not thoroughly sincere in dealing with himself."

Reading ourselves gives us the benefit of knowing ourselves much better than anybody else. It helps recognize our-self, which is the beginning of the development and massive progress.

Our inner nature controls our external sight. A person with a helping mind sees everything as an act of service and a person with an entrepreneurial mindsets sees everything as a step of innovating something new.

This is the reason why we take and reason everything according to our own perspective. A physics professor answers every life question in relation to physics and quantum. Our inner nature reflects our external appearance and the decision making abilities. Our inner nature reveals our sense of empathy and love. Our inner nature reflects our skills, abilities and vision. Above all, our inner nature reflects, who we're, what we see; it reveals our future.

Everybody face dilemma when it come to make the decision. It is the human nature to be unsatisfied of the decision we make. That's the the reason why figuring out the priorities is important.

When we adjust the priorities our every acts become more effective and efficient. Our time becomes productive. Doing the work on the basis of priorities is what makes our everyday life simple and successful.

It is the character that develops consistency. It is the inner strength that gives the ability to perform constantly and continuously.
"You can't get too much in life if you work only on the days when you feel good."

-NBA player Jerry West
We got to have the ability and the inner strength to perform or keep performing our action and work no matter how worse the situations is. This is what consistency is. And for this we got to develop the same kind of determined character. Nobody can go beyond the limitation of their own character.

Our character is important in achieving great success. Character generates consistency, consistency develops trust (self or the people in the organization), trust develops progress, and progress is what success is.

Predetermining the course of action is planning the action long before actually acting it. It is the psychological and mental process. In other words, it's doing mental work before the physical work.

We get 2 benefits when we predetermine the course of action:

We become fearless as we've prepared well. Fearlessness enhances confidence which in turn develops trust finally resulting success.
We can re-direct the path as we can see the problems and obstacles long ahead. It gives us the sense of self-improvement and self-respect as we follow the course of action we designed to execute.

Navigating our future is worth doing it because it makes us capable of minimizing the obstacles and rationalizing the challenges.

Navigating the future means controlling the direction of the future. It means having the vision for the destination. Those who navigate the future understand what it will take to get to their dreams. They recognize the problems and the obstacles long before they encounter them, and they become prepared to it.

It is crucial know the power of navigation because it’s the thing that determine us and our organization’s success or failure. It also teaches us to balance the optimism and realism, faith and results, and planning and intuitions.

A navigator is the one who sees the future long before they encounter it, and can plan accordingly.
