Are you aiming at nothing and hitting It with amazing accuracy?

Most people never set a goal, and magically, they reach that goal. I was very fortunate to have a mentor growing up who showed me the importance of setting goals. Stanford did a study back in the early 80's. What they did was they interviewed the graduating class of '81 to see how many people had set goals and how many didn't. 20 years later they followed up with the class and were astonished at the results. 2% of the people who graduated had set goals, and get this... the 2% was worth more than the other 98% combined!!!

The power of focus (which is also a great book, this was a semi-reference) is so incredible when it is used. Bob Proctor, Anthony Robbins, Jack Canfield, and the list goes on and on, all talk about the power of setting goals. And most importantly focusing on those goals. Have you ever sat down and imagined already having everything you have ever dreamed of? I mean really gone there in your mind. It is a complete trip!! Scientists have studied and found that your mind can't tell the difference between real experience and mental experience. This is probably why our dreams (sleeping dreams) seem soooo real.

If you haven't seen the movie The Secret I highly recommend it. It lays out a detailed explanation of how the power of goals and the sub-conscious mind work. If you would like to discuss things on a more personal level feel free to post, call, or check out my website at http://www.ilivebydesign.com .
