Last night when I was sitting out in my backyard, I was mesmerized by a bumble bee. He was trying to land on a bunch of flowers and draw the nectar out the the center, but as hard as he tried he kept missing the center of the flower itself and instead landed on the top of the flower. Yet still he lingered there working and trying to position himself to get what he was after. Over and over this big beautiful black bumble bee tried to hit the mark, trying flower after flower, but the flowers were too small to hold his weight and they would collapse underneath him. Finally he flew off without getting the prize. I couldn't help but wonder how many times I myself have not hit the mark and didn't get what I was looking for, because either I had too many targets, or the target I was shooting for was too small, and therefor I didn't have the skill yet to hit it. I in those times, like the bumble bee, gave up and flew off.
I have discovered that knowing what I am aiming for is important. Without a target, how do I know where to aim. I personally enjoy hitting the mark that I set out to achieve. I have found that once I have a target, and know what the ultimate goal is, then I can begin to find the path to get there. This is where goal setting comes in and a plan to achieve those goals.....
