Do You Have Double Vision?

No I am not talking about the album by Foreigner and I'm not talking about the physical condition that can be repaired with eye drops or contacts. I am talking about the inability to focus on what it is in life you want to accomplish.

A lot of people walk through life with what I call mental double vision, bumping along and hoping to arrive somewhere, someday. The fact is that you can't accidentally accomplish your goals. It is impossible to accidentally become great, accidentally lose weight, or accidentally start that business. These things have to be done on purpose with a single vision in mind.

When you wake up and begin your day, do you head out the door with a shotgun or rifle? The shotgun approach to life is sloppy, careless and guaranteed to be unsuccessful. The shotgun says whatever happens happens and I might hit or might not.

But with the rifle approach your aim is precise, focused and exact. You know your target, you know your goal, and you focus, aim and pull the trigger. Your vision is clear and now attainable.

Mental double vision, just like the physical, will keep you from accomplishing and achieving your goals. Don't be satisfied with bumping along in life and accepting what ever happens.

Get clear, get focused and get going! There is a lot more to see and be when you get focused! Oh yeah, Double Vision by Foreigner is a great album, especially on vinyl!

Living Life On Purpose!
