The Importance Of Relishing Your Goals DailyTreat Every Goal Like It Was Your Last! How do you treat your daily steps to achieve your goals? Do you look at them as daily chores you have to battle through? Do you work hard at them in order to just “Get them out of the way for the day” or are you simply going through the motions?The reason I ask is if you found out today that tomorrow would be your last I imagine that you would treat the goals you wanted to achieve today very differently indeed. I suspect that they would be lived, taken on with verve, vigour and a zest for life. I imagine that you would relish them like a man walking through a desert for days without water discovering a watermelon! The next question I have to ask you is why can't you do that anyway? You will never get today back, in fact, if you think about it, by the time you think or say the word “Now” it ceases to exist. Time is so precious and this is not a dress rehearsal, it is the real deal so make it count! While you may find some of the daily tasks in order to reach your goals tedious or uninteresting you can look at them as stepping stones to where you want to be. If you are at all spiritual (and even if you are not) you can take an almost Zen like approach by thinking about it in the appropriate way. Lets suppose you had to shift a pile of bricks from one place to another and you found it a chore. One approach would be to start to think about where the bricks came from, how they were made, how did they get there, who delivered them. Start to imagine all the people involved in the process of making, distributing and using them. Pretty soon you should realise that you are not alone, there were probably hundreds of people responsible for the fact that you were lucky enough to build that conservatory base! When practising complicated sleight of hand for magic performances I see it from many different perspectives. Its almost like I lift up and out of my body and visualise it from all angles at the same time and I like to imagine I am an audience member seeing it for the fist time. I use this technique to really get lost in the performance, even though it is me who is giving it. This is something which helps me to keep it fresh when I do perform instead of that jaded “blah blah blah” performance I have witnessed by many magicians. This is a particularly good technique for athletes to be able to utilise their body memory and visualisation skills to perfect their performance. In the Practice Secrets Revealed course there are a myriad of techniques to enhance your performance in anything you train or practice in, and while I do not advise you to buy it without reading up on it, I invite you to take a look at the homepage of this website if you have not already. © Brian Watson - Practice Secrets Revealed
