Do you know that, If you reach for a goal, you may not get there, but at least you’ll get a lot further than if you hadn’t reached at all.
I
recently came across an anecdote that used a simple illustration to
make a big point. It related the story of a father and his children who
were accustomed to taking long hikes in the mountains. The children knew
every trail and track up the mountains.
On
one of their long marches, one of the boys was feeling tired. “I cannot
go on,” he said. “I’m too tired.” His father looked at him. “See
yourself at your destination,” he said. “Extend your mind to seeing
yourself there.” The father tried to teach his boy that by projecting
the thought of success, half the battle is won.
We
all feel overwhelmed at times by The challenges of life. They loom over
us as if we were standing at the foot of a huge, steep mountain. Just
the thought of having to climb that far to reach the top can be rather
daunting. Our normal reaction tends to be to think of all the reasons
why it can’t be done. The road seems strewn with obstacles—those
frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
Projecting
the thought of success at times like this is half the battle won. Once
we have determined to be successful and reach our goal, we have to
figure a way to get there. Learning to get past the obstacles in life in
order to reach our goals is crucial to winning.
