Your location is not the same as your direction.
Just because I’m in a good position today doesn’t mean I’m heading the right way. On the other hand, I could be making great progress and still be in a tough place. Therefore it’s important to neither despair if things seem bad, nor grow apathetic or overconfident when things are good. Because were I’m at today does not guarantee anything about where I’ll be tomorrow.
More important than asking, “Where am I at?” is asking, “Where am I headed?”
