”What you stand for” is like an inner compass.

8. Find your inner compass.

Think of it this way, what you stand for is like an inner compass. It points the way to your heart’s truest and highest desire because the things you enjoy doing most will ultimately guide you to your greatest achievements and happiness.

How can you know with certainty if you are on course or getting lost among dozens of competing ideas or peers?
