Change the direction but not the destination.

Change the direction but not the destination.

A middle-aged man asked a monk, "What should I do if I don't achieve my goal?"

The monk replied, "What will you do if you don't reach your desired destination?"

The man said, "I will change my direction."

"Then why don't you just stay where you are?" the monk asked.

"Because that is not the place I am meant to be," the man replied.

The monk smiled and said, "Exactly. So whenever you feel you haven't achieved a goal, tell yourself, 'That is not where I am meant to be. That is not how I should use my time.' Remember, when you wake up with a goal in mind and start aligning your daily tasks with it, you are already progressing. It doesn't matter how quickly you want to achieve it; all that matters is whether you are aligning your life with your goal."

The middle-aged man thanked the monk. As he walked out and got into his car, his phone rang. It was a job offer with double his current salary. The man smiled and said, "A job is not my goal. My destination is entrepreneurship, and I am already moving toward it."
