Further
FURTHER manages OBSTACLES & BARRIERS. The FURTHER Compass point is about maintaining momentum through incremental progress. This point of the compass helps you break seemingly impossible goals into manageable steps, allowing you to advance when the complete journey feels overwhelming. It’s the explorer’s secret for continuing movement when others become paralyzed by the magnitude of the challenge.
When reality seems impassable (barriers), you use FURTHER to find incremental pathways
The Challenge: When we look at ambitious goals, our brains often perceive them as single, overwhelming challenges—impassable mountains standing between us and success.
The Explorer’s Insight: “I broke it up into minutes and with each minute the next minute became possible. Much to my surprise (and everyone else’s) I reached 146m.” – Verna van Schaik, World Record Holder
Standing at the edge of the water, contemplating a dive to 146 meters felt impossible. But I didn’t confront the full depth at once. I just needed to get into the water… then reach the first marker… then go a bit deeper. Each small success created momentum that carried me to the next step.
The Reality Shift: When barriers seem impassable, FURTHER helps you discover incremental pathways through them. What looks like a solid wall from a distance reveals handholds and footholds when you approach it step by step.
