Introspection in itself is a humbling process. It is of great importance to find out what one really seeks, what is good for them and what will suit them best. Therefore, for the facilitation of betterment in life, introspective behaviour plays a very crucial role. One of the key ways to go about it is by navigating through life.
‘Navigation’ as a skill, is of fundamental importance throughout the course of one's life. This is because, with the right skills to introspect one can not just make better decisions and lead their life to better prospects but also subdue challenges to easily find a way out of problems. In its simplest explanation, navigation skills include the abilities that enable an individuals to explore through limitless possibilities for them, find the right solutions that enhance their life's outcomes, get a better direction with their goals and motives or to tackle problems skillfully. These skills however aren’t just applicable to decide future consequences of one's life. The right aptitude can help an individual on an everyday basis by helping them become quick problem solvers, creative thinkers, better decision makers or the best advisors. It helps one nurture creative liberty and also enables them to see 'the bigger picture' while taking decisions. These qualities not only add value to an individual but facilitate better chances of future success for ones well.
Good navigation skills include certain abilities like exploration potential, better risk assessment, the right harnessing of one’s energy, easy adoption of the new or the better, manifestation of one’s dreams, building better direction in life or avoiding possible losses. Its has tremendous importance in both personal and professional life is tremendous. The contemporary work environment now has shifted its paradigm to from looking out for not just academic brilliance now, but also for individuals with practical intelligence who can plan better, suggest better, direct better and thus perform better. As for students, many face this problem of enrolling into courses and later finding out how it never suited to their interests, they soon lose interest focus as well as the motivation to keep going, once they fall into the obligations of their own wrong decisions. This is why navigation skills are of utmost importance for students too- to help them choose their future on what they are interested in and also are also good at.
It is very common that people in their mid-lives undergo a crisis like situation wherein they lose the motivation to work, lose interest in most of the tasks and are in a state of constant hopelessness and dejection. Creative blockages occur in other cases where people suddenly lose their out of the box thinking abilities or their ability to perform at their best potential. In both these cases, good navigation skills can help an individual in many ways by showing them a path to get back to life and find directions away from the ones that they have started to find themselves in. These difficult situations demand us to be prepared with the right skillsets sets that help us overpower them and move on with a good life. Navigating therefore runs parallel to better opportunities and goal-directed paths for any individual.
Therefore with the right training to acquire these skillsets any individual can thrive better in work, personal and their everyday lives. The best ways to build upon navigation skills is by training under the right guidance from mentors and with the best suited courses. The contemporary world has created brilliant learning opportunities today, wherein academic and practical education is handed out side by side. Enrollment into the area of navigation or introspection is thus one of the best choices for an aspirant. Therefore with the right training to acquire such skill sets any individual can thrive better in work, personal and everyday life. In conclusion, we have the words of Becky Vollmer-“It is a remarkable gift to realize what is it you want and what is it you don’t and have the courage enough to navigate the space in between. “
