Great
marksmen and women know this. They
always focus on the bull’s eye. That is
what they intend to hit. That is where
they focus.
Where
is your bull’s eye, and my bull’s eye?
What
is our ONE THING that drives our lives?
I’m pretty good at a lot of things.
Music for one. Any more, my ONE
THING is writing to encourage mankind. My goodness.
What a large and imposing bull’s eye.
I
can sing. I can market, and promote, I can
sell, I can drum … I can do a lot of stuff. But what is my bull’s eye?
All
of the skills in the above string become background in light of my main thing.
My
big bull’s eye … to write the blog heard round the world. And I aim toward it every day of my life. This blog will be full of hope, encouragement
and inspiration for those who read it. I
haven’t yet reached this goal. I’m on my
way however.
Our aim, our focus, is one of
the most important principles we will every give thought to. It gets us out of bed in the middle of the
night, it speaks to us at odd moments during our day, and on occasion it may
keep us up late at night.
I’ve had to make adjustments in
my life to help me focus more on my bull’s eye.
For me, that involves my get-up time every morning. Marksmen call this “the stance”. The positioning of the feet, the arms, the
pressure on the trigger, the awareness of the breeze and from what
direction. All of the elements above are
nothing more than metaphors for you and me in analyzing our stance, our focus
on our bull’s eye.
The position – where you sit or
stand, what surrounds you, music or not.
Pressure on the trigger – how much
focus, how little, how light a touch, what to read, what to expose one’s self
to.
The breeze – what outside
influences are we subject to, what might blow us off-course, angle of the point
– higher or lower.
See the metaphors at play here?
We find what works for us. We do what we need to do to keep our eye on
the bull’s eye.
Where’s your bull’s eye?
