Hitting your target

My kids recently started archery class and at it wasn’t exactly what I expected. In my head, I assumed there would be a lot of instruction. I mean, have you seen how tiny the bullseye is?!

The reality is the coaches offered the kids some basic instructions on form and let them at it. They walk quietly behind each archer, watching, saying a few words if anything.

I’ve been wondering how my children are going to improve if they aren’t told more explicitly (more often) how to get better. But, here we are five weeks later, and they are popping balloons, hitting their marks (not every time, but way more often than before), and learning. The formula is that simple. It’s not easy, but it’s simple.

There’s that aha. I employ a similar teaching method myself. My clients generally come in believing that there are a lot of things stopping them from feeling and haivng the life they want. But it’s always much simpler.

The reason you might be missing the mark is because you don’t actually have your sights set on something specific.

Feeling better is a good start, but it doesn’t offer you real direction. You’re missing out on gaining the traction you need to succeed by not zooming in further.

• More energy?

• More fun?

• More adventure?

• More sleep?

The first step I take my clients through to be proactive about their happiness is getting massive clarity on specific targets. And that actually starts with a greater vision. You need a vision and a daily plan. Most people find they’re waffling somewhere in-between which leaves them with the desire to change without a clear way to actualize it.

Why vision? Because you have to be able to see the big picture if you want to create it. You need to feel and see what’s possible because you’ll need to believe in it before you can live it.

Vision is also important because without the destination your daily actions aren’t making the kind of progress they could be helping you gain. Getting clear on a path also makes daily decision making much easier.

Clarity is one of the pieces of the puzzle that helps them get quick wins and lasting effects.
