Preparation and focusing on your goal

“Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal. Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your experience, so that you can make the most of opportunity when it occurs.’”

Mario Andretti
Auto Racer

This is a great quote from the legendary Mario Andretti because it highlights one of the great lessons in goal achieving. Having a clear picture of your goal gives you focus and as you refine your goal it is like using binoculars. The more you think about it the clearer it becomes in your mind and the more energy and intensity you gain from it. It begins to pick you up when you are down!

Let go of how you are going to get there and be like a stream that never struggles but instead adapts and moves around the obstacles. The key to success is to let go of your rational, linear a-b-c-d-e-f…z plan. Set your goal (Z) go as far as you can go, adapt along the way because the universe will always point you in the direction that is the quickest way for you to achieve success. If you don’t listen and continue to resist because you had it in your mind that it would happen a-b-c-d-e-f… then you will not only take a long time to reach your goal if you ever do, but you will be in a constant mental struggle that will discourage you.

Remember: “What you resist persists and what you fight you strengthen.” Be the stream and let your life flow naturally enjoying the journey along the way.

To your success!
