YOUR LIFE A-Z: AIM

SEE MORE BRILLIANTLY BY AIMING YOUR GAZE

AIM

AIM for what you want.  Do not allow yourself a shotgun approach to life where you splatter your daily life in all directions, AIM your life in the direction you want it to go.  Set your target and focus on your intention.  What are you hunting for in your life?  What sends you out early to search for a specific target and hunt for a specific goal?  What is your desired outcome and how will that desired outcome help you live your life in a meaningful way. You do not have to AIM high, but be sure to AIM direct, focusing your eye on your goal.  Once you AIM then it is helpful to stay focused and not let distraction get in the way of your AIM.  Remember shooters go to shooting practice to keep their AIM on target.  A game of darts will teach you that AIM is so important.  AIM for your hearts desire and polish, clean, and practice that AIM on a daily basis. 

Think about how you AIM your eyes to see the colors on a small hummingbird.  I suspect you squint because squinting blocks out the peripheral landscape, allowing the eye to AIM right on the beautiful hummingbird.  To AIM for what you want will allow you to see more beautiful and exquisite colors in the world around you.  To AIM for what you want you bet closer to the bulls eye than just picking up the dart and throwing it recklessly at the dart board.  AIM for your dreams.

YOUR LIFE A-Z:HANDLE

GET A GRIP ON YOUR LIFE! OPEN THE DOOR!

HANDLE

Interesting that the word HANDLE in the English language has so many meanings.  It is the external part of a door that one uses to get in and out of a home, building, or room.  Without a HANDLE like that it would be much more difficult to enter and exit a place. Where could a HANDLE near an entrance or exit make your life more convenient?  HANDLE also means to fully touch something, as in exploring a piece of pottery with your hands.  What piece of your life do you need to HANDLE with detailed exploration?  The multi-meaningful word HANDLE also means to manage effectively.  Life is always changing and in any moments notice it can go from bad to worse or from better to great.  Getting a HANDLE on life is one big roller coaster ride and for the most part, things work themselves out safely; but if you don’t enjoy roller coasters, then you need another way to HANDLE the ups and downs of life.  Life is to be enjoyed and it is up to us to HANDLE things in the most positive ways possible.  Think about it, what good does it do you to stay angry, harbor bitterness, and become a hateful negative person?  Really, do you get something positive out of HANDLING life from that victim’s mentality?  Learn to HANDLE your life’s ups and downs in stride, knowing that your attitude in HANDLING it will make a world of difference in whether you enjoy the ride or not.
