Hit the target

Dreading New Year’s resolutions? 

Don’t worry if you have previously failed to hit your targets. This time you will and we want to help.

Using the analogy of archery to bring clarity is a useful exercise. Archery is a timeless sport that has been around for millennia. It is a sport of focus, precision, and dedication. To be a successful archer, you have to be willing to put in the time and energy to nail down the fundamentals in order to hit the target.

As a metaphor for life, if you want to achieve success in any endeavor, you must have a plan, break it down into achievable goals, and take action.

The same division of labour and attention to detail applies to archery. Each step of the process builds on the next until you hit the sweet spot. Thinking into results means actively considering the end goal in every decision you make, shaping your plan in a way that will lead you closer to the desired outcome.

If you want to hit the target, for example, you must consider the arc of the shot, the positioning of your fingers, the placement of your feet, and the angle of your arm when you draw the bowstring. Finally and most importantly, you must also never take your eyes away from the target you are aiming at. It has to be central in everything you do during the build up to the shot. 

Ultimately, success comes from taking consistent action and making sure your thoughts are in sync with your goals. In archery as in life, staying focused on the path ahead is the only way to hit the bullseye.

At Pro-Tivity we help you stay focused on the target and celebrate with you when you hit the mark. Join hundreds of others who have trusted us to walk with them in achieving and exceeding their goals and ambitions.
