How do you achieve your goals when every thing around you is moving at warp speed?
In this fast pace society where you have deadlines you can’t make, appointments that you might be late for, broken promises, set backs, bills, the kids, your spouse, your boss, shattered dreams, betrayals selfishness and greed.
With so many distractions every day in this dog eat dog world where all the odds look like they have conspired against you. it seem impossible to get anything worth while done to bring about a sense of accomplishment and success but the truth is there is no amount of distraction or obstacles that can stop or derail a mind that is made up a person that is relentless about what they want out of life just as long as you know what you are aiming for you will certainly hit your target.
aiming for the birds eye is when we focus our arrow at the target so intently shut out all the distracting noise all the people who want to see you fail all the one that never believe in you who told you that you could never do, its keeping a steady hand no matter how hard the wind blow going after that target as if it was already in the dead center.
we can learn to be precise about almost every thing in our lives we have to just get into the habit of it, habits are formed over time with much practice they often become like second nature the bad ones and the good ones alike.
so too just like the master archer have to practice to perfect his mastery.
An ancient Indian sage was teaching his disciples the art of archery. He put a wooden
Bird as the target and asked them to aim at the eye of the bird. The first disciple was asked to describe what he saw. He said, "I see the trees, the branches, the leaves, the sky, the bird and its eye.." The sage asked this disciple to wait. Then he asked the second disciple the same question and he replied, "I only see the eye of the bird." The sage said, "Very good, then shoot." The arrow went straight and hit the eye of the bird.
What is the moral of the story? Unless we focus, we cannot achieve our goal. It is hard to focus and concentrate, but it is a skill that can be learned.
