How To Accomplish Anything

Whether we can or cannot envision a life that we would like to be living is really elementary because what we do need to have is the real unadulterated vision to mobilize the eventual concept into maturing. Is that simplistic or is it really what the sages have been saying for eons? Tough measures are needed at this stage of conscious thinking to assist one in reaching the desired objective. There are elements askew within all of us that disable the capable functioning of any brain and as a result we are unable to realize the full potential awaiting our attention.

This is not a matter to grieve over as there are far worse happenings in the history of mankind deserving sorrowful tears and outright emotional outbursts. As I scratch my head in wonder at some of these I have to ponder the truth that maybe the elements within many heads were askew throughout history and that may be why events followed to their doubtful conclusion when another possibility was within reach. There is not a country on earth that escaped these elements it seems. So not to worry, one is not alone in the askew market and greener pastures await us, just keep on grazing.

Oh to be a horse with head held high looking over the hedges and with the talent to jump them to check out the inviting vision ahead. In the eyes of a horse it must be interesting to see fields and fields with great jumps to anticipate leaping over. Unlike a horse though we cannot leap over jumps or obstacles we come across, but we can make detours which horses do too when the jump is beyond their ability.

This is where teamwork comes in, with pulling loads two horses can pull a load easier than one, and that is also applicable to us too. Being independent obstinate beings with a contrary nature to think of being helped by someone is a weakness, but in actual fact it is a sign of strength to ask and accept help with loads. The heavier loads require more horses and likewise we may require the accumulative help of many to overcome some obstacles. And so we have mastermind groups.

Imagine a sequence of photographs in ascending order of a horse taking off to landing on the opposite side of the jump and envision that accomplishment being you ready to accept the accolades of success for every little accomplishment on your path through life. Sometimes horses are unable to jump and make a sudden stop instead of jumping, other times they may hit the jump during the event and sometimes they fall, but they always get up and go to the next one. Think of yourself as a first class horse as fit as a fiddle and eager for life. In order to reach that level requires a lot of training and practice.

The horse did not wake up one day and decide it was going to jump like no other horse before it, preparation and practice, exercise and nutrition with a good trainer and rider to assist it.

Everything takes practice, when you first started eating, you made a terrible mess and spilled food and drinks with the over enthusiasm of an unskilled human. Not a disaster to be fed more disasters, no it was the first of many steps towards eating properly without making a mess. Now it is second nature to you, one hopes anyway. Likewise the path to success will require many and repeated sessions of practicing. In every large multinational organization there are filing cabinets full of failed projects, but with every failed cabinet there are many cabinets filled with successful projects.

Now scale it down to your situation and you can visualize the journey of hills and valleys, and how green your valley will be depends on the preparation that you have put into it. When John F. Kennedy suggested that America should have an astronaut land on the moon, he was met with a lot of skepticism and doubting fellows. But when he instructed them to break it down into measurable segments divided into managed proportions it became a reality.

When you look at the moon you cannot see it in its entirety, but when displayed in parts you get the full picture and realize the scope of it. It is not as daunting then to visualize accomplishing the final result.
