Goals metaphors from my morning run

One morning for my daily run, I decided to head for a local beauty
spot. Several people had described this place and although not 100%
sure where it was or how far, I set out to find it.

We ran along trying to remember the directions that others had
given, looking for signs or confirmation that we were on the right
track. There were plenty of uphill sections which were quite tough
but also peaceful countryside and lovely views.

Because I didn't know exactly how far our destination was, after a
few miles concerns began to grow, for example, did I have time for
this, or what if it was a really long way and beyond my physical
range? My inner voice was beginning to encourage me to slow down or
even come back later by car or bike.

Then I hit a point where the path split into three. I could go
left, right or straight on. There were no signs or obvious
indications of which way to go. Fortunately there was an old man
tending his vines on the hillside. He was able to guide me, as he
knew where it was and how to get there.

We ran on, up a steep hill but buoyed by the confirmation that we
were on the right path. Then at the top of the hill we reached our
destination. A truely beautiful place, with stunning views and
water for us both, from a fresh mountain stream.
 
We rested a while, and then set off home. Strangely the journey
back seemed to take half the time and was much less demanding. The
inner voice that was encouraging me to slow down was now silent.

What does this tell us about goal setting and achievement?

Firstly we are rarely 100% sure of how to reach our destination. To
quote Martin Luther King Jr. "You don't have to see the whole
staircase, just take the first step in faith".

Secondly along the road to our goals there will be uphills but
there will also be great views,  so try and enjoy both.

Thirdly, without a clear goal,  a journey can seem endless and we
may be tempted to give up. Set the goal and keep moving forwards,
then you will eventually be successful. This is why the return trip
is so much easier. Once we know where we are going and how to get
there, the rest is mere details.

Finally we should look for confirmation that we are on the right
path. Trust your instincts and intuition. Seek out also the person
who knows the way, the mentor or coach who you can rely upon to
keep you pointed in the right direction.
