Close your eyes and imagine that you are on a boat in the ocean. It's dark and rainy. The wind is blowing hard and the waves are large. You are attempting to steer the ship in the right direction, but the storm is disorienting. You feel as if you have lost your bearings. The moon is hidden behind clouds, and no stars are visible.
All you can do is ride the storm out, hoping for the best.
Suddenly, you catch a brief glimpse of light on the horizon. Wondering if you are seeing things, you look again. Sure enough, there's a lighthouse there.
In an instant you know exactly where you are and which direction you should be heading. Correcting your course, you steer towards the lighthouse, confident that you will soon be able to reach a safe harbor.
Just as there are lighthouses in the ocean, there are lighthouses in life. They are meant to guide our path and warn us of danger. A lighthouse might be a person, a significant event, a crystal clear thought, or a gut feeling. As you learn to identify and access the lighthouses in your life, you can be assured that you are on the right course.
Whenever you feel lost or confused, think about the things you know are true. These lighthouse moments are like breadcrumbs that can lead you back home.
