Is the Target Actively Drawing a Person?

August 2

Topic of the Day- The arrow doesn’t seek the target; the target draws the arrow. Yes, we must set goals, chase what we want, and cast our lines in the water. But don’t forget, the spider waits in his web for dinner to come. 

This is one of those thoughts that is in error from its conception. We determine the targets in our world. We can be drawn to certain things in life, but it is up to us to establish our own targets. All the action is determined by us, and all the energy is furnished by us, not a target. We can be overly interested in an end result, but that interest is embedded within us.

Once we have achieved a target or goal, we move on. If we continue to pound the target, then that constitutes a certain pathology that should be addressed by medical professionals. For our own growth, we need to accept that to grow in our life, one target should be replaced by better targets or goals which allow us to grow as people.  

There is another lesson. “...the spider waits in his web for dinner to come.” Unfortunately, there are people who want to move our targets or goals, or they want to steal the product of the achieved goal. We must grow our goals, but we must watch and/or learn to protect our goals or our achievement. There are lazy, evil people in our world and we must be wise in order to remain in possession of what we have accomplished. We need to do better homework to protect ourselves and know we must dedicate our time and resources to provide that protection.

The last element of this subject is to serve as a coach or mentor and share this information on goals and protection with deserving younger people who want to achieve and thrive.
