Insight, Meditations and Reflections

Homing torpedoes and guided missiles seek their targets unmistakenly. When a missile is launched without a target, it self-destructs. Homing torpedoes, guided missiles and jets use the homing process to reach their target or destination through a constant course correction mechanism.

A homing-like mechanism within all of us propels us towards achieving our goals. Although we work towards accoplishing set tasks, distractions pull us away from attaining them with ease. As a result, an important element of persistence is to accommodate the constant changes that we must face in accomplishing what we set out minds on. 

This constant self-monitoring is an important ingredient of what keeps some people going while others throw in the towel. Yogi Berra's saying, "It ain't over, till it's over" is a reminder that course correction after temporary set-backs and challenges can lead us to our destination when we keep our eyes on the prize.
