" I WANT YOU TO ASK YOURSELF ONE THING " BY GO BLANSON

“ Be like a postage stamp— stick to one thing until you get there.” —Josh Billings

Hello Tribe, this week's title came to me as I was reading the book, " The One Thing " by Gary Keller .At the beginning of the book,he talks about the t.v. comedy series " City Slickers ." In one memorable scene, Curly, the gritty cowboy played by the late Jack Palance, and city slicker Mitch, played by Billy Crystal, leave the group to search for stray cattle. Although they had clashed for most of the movie, riding along together they finally connect over a conversation about life. Suddenly Curly reins his horse to a stop and turns in the saddle to face Mitch. Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is? Mitch: No. What? Curly: This. [He holds up one finger.] Mitch: Your finger? Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don’t mean shit. Have you ever heard of the old saying," The best way to eat an elephant is " ONE " bite at a time? Well, this also can apply to accomplishing your goals. Too many people end to look at the size of their goals and become overwhelmed. Like the Israelites in the bible," they look at their goals as giants and themselves as grasshoppers. They fail to realize that they can break their goals down into smaller bite size pieces[ Things are Harder by the Yard, but they're a Cinch by the Inch ]. Instead of looking at your goal as a " Big Hairy Monster," view it as a puzzle. A puzzle with several pieces that fit together as a whole. Now the " Big Hairy Monster " is tameable. You can begin begin to see it in a new light. Now you see yourself as the Giant and your goals as the grasshoppers So after everything that I have said," I want you to ask yourself One Thing." I want you to get in the " HABIT " of asking yourself,WHAT IS THE " ONE THING " THAT I CAN DO " TODAY " THAT WILL HELP GET ME CLOSER TO ACHIEVING MY GOAL(S) FOR TODAY? Once you decide on the " ONE THING " that you can do, " IMAGINE " yourself " BEING " the person doing the thing[s] you chose to do( this is when the " MAGIC " will begin ). The " MAGIC " is that " ONE THING " will lead you to another thing, which will lead you to another thing{ and so on and so on }. Furthermore,since we are creatures of habit, it is important that we develop good SUCCESS HABITS," One " SUCCESS HABIT at a time." Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with taking " ONE STEP !" In closing,I hope that this article helps you on your journey to deeper enlightenment. - garry b [ PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks ! ]
