Getting To YES! XII. ‘Your Goal’?... An agreement won’t reach itself – it takes effort. If, you’re focused on and working on a conflicting Goal it will reduce or remove your ability to reach your main Goal. You must do something every day to reach your goal… If, you don’t it may mean that you are striving in the wrong direction? The best ‘Rule’ I know, and I’m applying it now, with some perceived discomfort – is to: A. Do what is import and will get you nearer to your goal. B. Do what seems, to be urgent. It’s far too easy to succumb to what seems, to be urgent – with it’s perceived urgency, it persuades us that it is important. Unless, what seems, to be urgent is a matter of life and death – set it aside – it’s potency will desist and soon you won’t even remember it! We are persuaded every day, that we must do what is urgent first. Sales people in Ads. are continually telling us “While stocks last”, “Sale must end soon”, “Don’t miss out, hurry while stocks last”… The biggest mistake that people make in their lives, is to buy into ‘Urgency’. 99% of what we perceive to be urgent, can be set aside. Success, is Domiciled, Lives and Exists only in us doing what is ‘Important’. You, could imagine the battlefield of ‘Stirling Bridge’?... You’ve got your spear, “As long as a man”(!)… The charge is on – THUNDER… It would have been too easy, to think then - that it was ‘urgent’ to raise your spear… YES! – you wait until it becomes ‘Important’, and change history. It’s too easy to perceive that “Oh it’s just a little thing on my to-do list, I’ll just do it quickly – so I can get it off my list and make the list smaller”?... Most things on to-do lists don’t get done… Look at some of you old ones!... Take your current list and mark each thing with: ‘I’ for important. ‘U’ for urgent. ‘IU’ for Important and Urgent. Do the IU first, then the U and if you’ve got time, do the U. In a week or a month, the U’s will be forgotten. Your main Goal is your main Objective. Not, frivolous little, niggley things, that niggle at you to just do them and feel better… You Must focus on your main Goal – the one Goal that will bring you and your family, your business or organization the Greatest ‘Value’ in the long term. Niggley, seemingly urgent things get our attention… Why? Because, they cause us a degree of discomfort – so we think that doing them will remove the discomfort and get us back into our comfort zone. YES! it may, but, in doing the seemingly urgent things, we are also neglecting the Important things – much like the massive Cuckoo that squeaks the loudest – it gets more food and soon is able to push the ‘Real Objective’ of the parent birds out of their nest, until, exactly like urgent things – they fill up all the space and they are the only thing that get any attention!... The trick in Goal Achievement – is to Do Something Everyday to take you nearer to your main Goal. No matter how much perceived discomfort it seems to bring you… Anyone, who’s ever achieved anything – knows that there will always be a little perceived discomfort involved and they accept it, so that they can travel in the direction of their Goal. Anyone, who’s been on a journey, and that’s most of us. May have felt the discomfort of not being able to answer a call of nature. We’ve all been there! You don’t scream “Stop The World I Wont To Get Off” – you bide your time, in the knowledge that you will be more comfortable ‘soon’. As with Goals, you Focus. Focus, Focus on them and set the perceived and survivable discomfort aside – then you’re fine and the perceived discomfort evaporates! Here’s what I do on a daily basis to help me reach my Goal of an Independent Scotland. 1. Respond to people who want to learn more about voting YES! on Facebook, twitter and elsewhere. Not responding to them can cause them problems with their account. 2. I use ‘Critical Thinking’ with everything I hear, see and read – I don’t just except it – I want to know ‘Why’? Next time you hear someone from Bitter Together or The CONDEMs pontificating to you with a well engineered sound bite – just, say over and over and over as they do so ‘WHY’ or ‘HOW’ or ‘WHEN’? – you’ll notice that what they are saying to you changes and you’re not just gulping down what they are saying to you as a thirsty dog gulps down a bowl of water… 3. I engage Media. People and Organisation which I feel are Lying, Twisting The Facts and Trying to Brainwash me. 4. I get behind absolutely anyone who’s got the same Goal as me and support them in any way I possibly can. 5. I LOL at the vast majority of Anti – Scottish propaganda – I don’t get angry with it. I don’t try to get even. I strive, to do better than them. 6. I continually do research. I only have to type in some question into Google and I get lots of answers. 7. I use my ‘Intuition’ to weigh the validity, Truth and Reliability of any information I hear, See or Read. The trick here is to go on your ‘first reaction’ after you have become aware, been told or heard about something. I was, trying to rationalize and even dismiss my feelings that ‘the mother is involved in her sons death’… until I actually heard the news that she’s been arrested today. Your own personal, very own and no need to turn on a TV to get the news ‘Intuition’, is much more powerful than you think. Many people will still remember how their Intuition told them about Lady Di? Remember? 8. I am Persistent’ – I don’t give up. Persistence is more powerful than anything in the Universe. 9. I read what like minded people are saying, because I know I can’t research everything and I find when I do – it helps me to build the jig-saw and understand things better. 10. I BELIVE that I and We will reach our Goal together and I do something every single day to help us get there. How about You?...
