As some of you know, I once taught archery.

And you may find it interesting that I always taught my students: “Set your hands, the angle of your bow, check the tension of your strings, the straightness of the wooden arrow, that’s what they were 60 years ago, the condition of the feathers and most of all, don’t aim at the target.”

I would repeat myself, “Don’t aim at the target,” just to make sure I had their attention.

And then I would say, “Don’t aim at the bulls eye.”

I’m sure by then many of them were thinking, “Wow! What kind of a teacher is this?”

I would conclude by saying, “Aim at the center of the bulls eye. You won’t hit the center of the bulls eye every time, of course you won’t…but that needs to be your goal. If you just aim at the bulls eye you may actually miss the target completely.”

And that’s life.

It has to have a focus.

Want to get better, be better? Then don’t make it a goal. Make it a mission. Make it a vision.

Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision the people perish.” Until a person knows who he is, where he is going and why he is living, he is destined to become one more miserable member of the Lost and Not Found Department.

“Not that I have already obtained it, or have already become perfect, but I press on in order that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Jesus Christ”(Phil. 3:12).
