Keeping Your Eyes On The Road, And Not The Car Ahead.

By Mr WebbyFied

When we're driving, a majority of us watch the road ahead. We have this crazy habit of looking at the car directly in front of us, and watching to see what they are doing, and how they are driving. Sometimes, we check our mirrors to make sure things are okay all around. Every once in a while, we might even look to either side to get in a lane that we should be in to get where we're going, but we always go back to looking forward.

Sounds a little crazy doesn't it? Why don't we just keep looking to the side, or the view out in the distance, or the pretty lady walking along the street? Why keep looking ahead if we know where we are trying to get to?

Because we would probably die.

Oh, then that's the nutty method.

So if that's crazy, why do we do that in every other part of our lives, especially our business?

Why is it that we convince ourselves that we will be able to drive towards that goal, successfully, without ever even focusing on it? That sounds absolutely ridiculous, doesn't it?

When you're looking off to either side, you're unwittingly turning yourself in that direction. You hands are on the wheel and they turn in the direction that you ask them to. Once you start worrying about that pole up ahead, you focus on the pole and realize your hands are doing what you want; turning the wheel towards the pole!

The only thing you see is the pole. Your problem. You focus on this instead of a solution and you eventually run into it. You didn't hit it because you were a bad "driver" however, but because you couldn't take your eyes off of it.

Now, hitting the pole is if you're lucky. There's also the possibility of just turning and turning until you find yourself lost, in the middle of nowhere, with no gas left, and no direction, trying to figure out how all of this happened.

This lack of focus can, and will, get you nowhere fast, and I'm pretty sure that's not where you wanted to go.

Until next time, keep taking the Red Pill, and see me in the morning.
