GOAL SETTING AND GO-GETTING; THE NEXUS (PART THREE)
THE HOMING PIGEON
This is another animal that illustrates the importance of goals and direction. If you take the homing pigeon out of its roost, put it in a cage, cover the cage with a blanket, put the cage in a box, place the box in a closed truck cab and then drive a thousand miles in any direction, the homing pigeon, once let out of the cage (with the blanket, box and other impediments removed) will fly up into the air, circle three times and then fly unerringly back to its home roost a thousand miles away.
You also have this amazing, cybernetic, goal-seeking function. In fact, all you need to do is know what your goal is and why you need it. You need not know how, as the how will be figured out subsequently. By simply deciding to focus on that major goal, you begin to unerringly, move toward your goal and your goal will begin to unerringly move toward you.
If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. Thomas Alva Edison
The key word here is decide and I must say that the verb decide is from the Latin word decidere which means to cut off other options. So you have not really made a decision to focus on your goals unless you have cut off other options. Other options that may make you draw back or encourage a compromise. At exactly the right time and place, you and your goal will meet.
Determine what you want more than anything else in life, write down the means by which you intend to attain it and permit nothing to deter you from pursuing it.
-Henry Kaiser
Like a computer, your mind is non-judgmental. What you programme (the software) into your mind will be displayed outside. If your goal is to get home, eat at night and watch TV, you will most likely attain that. If your goal is to create a wonderful life full of health, happiness and prosperity, you will most likely attain that as well. You will mostly likely attain your set goals, hence it is important that you set goals that push you forward rather than those that draw you back. Be careful what you want for you will end up getting it.
