ALice in Wonderland

Alice says “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.

“I don’t much care where–” said Alice.

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.

“–so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added as an explanation.

“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”

I love these lines from Alice In Wonderland. It often describes many parts of our life and professional journeys. If we don't know where we want to go, then we cannot reach there. However, if all we want is to get somewhere, then yes we will get somewhere, if we walk long enough. Of course, where we reach may not to be fulfilling.

We need compass in our lives - it could be a mentor, a family member, or a deep purpose to often show us a path and light the lamp within to reach somewhere.
