Where You Look, You Go

Ever notice—
even when you're driving,
your car drifts in the direction your eyes are focused?

You don’t mean to steer that way—
but you do.
Your hands follow your gaze.
And just like that,
the entire vehicle starts to move
without you realizing it.

Life is the same.

Whatever holds your focus—
has your direction.

And when you’re spinning,
they tell you to fix your eyes on something that isn’t moving.
Something steady.
So you don’t lose your balance.
So you don’t lose yourself.

But how often do we do the opposite?

Looking at everything that’s moving—
everyone else’s pace,
path,
approval,
chaos—
and then wondering why we feel pulled
in every direction but our own.

It’s not always your speed that’s the problem.
It’s what you’re watching.

You can’t move forward
if your eyes are still on what’s spinning.
You can’t hear clearly
if distractions own your attention.
You can’t see the whole picture
when you’re standing too close.

Sometimes,
the answer isn’t to go faster—
it’s to focus deeper.
To look up.
And then within.

Because the direction you choose
isn’t just about where your feet are headed.

It starts with what you give your eyes to.

Where you look,
you go.
