It is all to often I hear people saying that they can never achieve their goal no matter what they do. They've written it down. They've made the lists and done the work. But something is not hitting home for them. This would be where I step in and ask them:
"Can you see what it is you are aiming at?"
You see, it's not enough to just say you are going for a drive if you really have a destination. You might end up anywhere and on any road.
So what do you do? You sit down, get a pen and paper and whittle your goal down till you know exactly what it is you are aiming at.
For instance, if you ask people what they want most in life, the majority of people will say "Happiness". What's wrong with that you say? Nothing, however it is very vague. Happiness means something different for everyone and you need to know what you would have to be aiming to do in order to be happy and ask why is that your goal in order to fuel the motivation behind it.
I know, it's simpler to say, "just want to be happy" but if you really want to achieve it you need to go further than that.
So next time you are aiming to get the highest score in darts, remember, aim for the bullseye and not just the board!
