Most people haven't set themselves any course with regards to their life. They have no idea whether or not they are being blown in any useful direction whatsoever. They are just at the whim of wherever the winds of life take them.
Many individuals go through life without a clear purpose or direction, often feeling like they are simply reacting to events rather than proactively shaping their future. This lack of a defined course leaves them vulnerable to the unpredictable changes and challenges that life presents, much like a ship adrift at sea.
In his book, "The Extremely Successful Salesman's Club," Chris Murray emphasizes the importance of setting a personal path and goals. Without intentionality, people risk becoming passive participants in their own lives, allowing circumstances to dictate their experiences rather than taking charge of their journey toward success and fulfillment.
