Last week, while casually browsing my Substack feed, I came across a note that explained an interesting concept called GPS theory.
I couldn't find any concrete information on this theory on the Web, so it's possible that the author made it up; nevertheless, it felt useful.
According to the GPS theory, when you make a mistake following your phone or car's navigation system, there's no judgment involved. The GPS quietly draws a new route to your destination — even if that means taking a complete U-turn.
One of life's grave mistakes is judging ourselves too harshly for the occasional blunders and giving up.
What if, instead, we act like a GPS and quietly reroute the path to our destination when we hit a roadblock or deviate from our originally planned route?
We would be better equipped to handle the occasional detours and eventually reach our destination.
Therefore, the next time you make a mistake while following your goals, vision or life path, ease on the self-criticism and look for a way to get back on track.
Remember the GPS theory.
P.S.:- A quick reminder that the Hulry Plus membership will be shifting to a subscription model instead of the current one-time payment model in the coming weeks.
You can still become a member at the current $49 one-time payment pricing before the change happens.
