― Os Guinness, The Call: Finding and Fulfilling the Central Purpose of Your Life

Life is a voyage. We begin by leaving the safe harbor of our mother’s womb. After being trained in the skills of a life mariner in our home or origin, we are called to captain our ship through the ocean of life so we will reach a specific destination. However skilled we are at sailing and maintaining the ship, the purpose of the journey is to arrive at a destination. A ship without a destination is lost. A life without a destination is adrift. A critical step in succeeding at life is to define clearly what we believe to be our destination in life. Each person has a unique destination.
