I was walking out the back in my grandma’s house and a lemon had dropped from the tree into the garden bed.I picked it up and there was a hole in it, made by some insect. So I just wondered around the backgarden throwing a lemon from hand to hand and up in the air.
When I stretched out my hands so that I couldn’t keep them both in my eye sight at the same time I started throwing again. My other hand was ready to respond very quickly to the incoming lemon and kept having to reach to catch it as the other hand threw it.
But then I realized something. Why don’t I put my empty hand in the place I want it to go, then get the other hand to throw it there. And suddendly my empty hand doesn’t move, I take some action with my other hand, and there appears a lemon.
So what did I actually learn from this.
- Set your goal (putting your hand where you want them lemon to be)
- Take directed action towards your goal (throwing it)
- It may not take the path you expect but it does get there
- As tempting as it is to move your hand, have faith and watch it land where you want it to.
A simplified version on acheiving goals, but it does give you a nice overview. Happy lemon throwing.
