A lone figure climbs a shadowed mountainside, lit faintly by moonlight and torchlight. At the top of the ridge, a new horizon opens—golden light spilling over distant peaks, revealing vast possibilities that were hidden from below.

Your Sights Are Set Too Low

The Limits of Your Current Vision

Most people set their sights too low. Not because they lack ambition but because they can only see from where they stand today.

Your goals are shaped by the person you are right now. By the skills you’ve mastered. By the knowledge you already hold.

And from this vantage point, your vision is limited.

You aim for what feels possible, reachable, familiar.

But what if that’s barely scratching the surface of what you’re capable of becoming?


Why Your Sights Must Rise

The person you are today cannot even comprehend what the person you will become over time.

Because growth expands vision.

Every skill you build, every truth you embrace, every step toward alignment lifts your perspective higher.

And from that higher ground, you’ll see opportunities, capacities, and horizons you couldn’t have imagined before.

So when your goals feel small, safe, or uninspired, it’s not because you’re unworthy—it’s because you’re still looking through the eyes of who you are now.


The Truth About Aiming Higher

The Compass doesn’t ask you to set goals you already know how to reach.

It asks you to aim for the ones that stretch beyond your current self.

Because the real target is not the outcome—it’s the Becoming.

It’s who you must grow into in order to reach heights that right now seem impossible.


Raise Your Aim

Look at your goals today.

Ask yourself: Are these based on the limits of who I am right now—or on the vision of who I could become?

If your sights feel too low, raise them. Set a goal that intimidates you. One that requires skills you don’t yet have. One that forces you to grow.

Because as you rise, your vision rises with you.
