The danger is not to set your goal too high and fail to reach it. It’s to set your goal too low and reach it
As Aristotle wrote a long, long time ago, and I'm paraphrasing here, the goal is to avoid mediocrity by being prepared to try something and either failing miserably or triumphing grandly. Mediocrity is not about failing, and it's the opposite of doing. Mediocrity, in other words, is about not trying. The reason is achingly simple, and I know you've heard it a thousand times before: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
There is a difference between a fighter and a martial artist. A fighter is training for a purpose: He has a fight. I’m a martial artist. I don’t train for a fight. I train for myself. I’m training all the time. My goal is perfection. But I will never reach perfection.
Pick a goal, make a realistic plan to reach that goal, work through each step of the plan, and repeat.
Using your imagination to create mental images stimulates your mind, helps organize your life and keeps your focus in a particular direction. It allows your unconscious mind to work toward the image you have created, the goal. It's about understand the life you want to live, and seeing it unfold before you.
Set your goal and keep moving forward.
I'm training all the time. My goal is perfection. But I will never reach perfection.
My goal is to share all my learning, all of my knowledge, so that other generations of martial arts will benefit.
The goal is to avoid mediocrity by being prepared to try something and either failing miserably or triumphing grandly.
