Target Areas

When you are facing an attacker that is bigger and stronger than you are, there are a few martial arts principles that can help level the playing field. One of these tricks is to strike certain target areas. For example, being poked in the eye hurts worse than being punched in the shoulder. Am I right? Before you start thinking about how hard you can hit or kick, it might pay to focus on where to hit and the best way to make contact.

In life, this can be likened to having a plan created from an effective vision. Every person should strive to be a leader, no matter what roles they play in life. I have heard it said that the man who knows how will always have a job. The man who knows why will always be his boss.

The vision for a company comes from a leader that has foresight, analyzes and predicts trends, and is willing to take responsibility for important decisions. These leaders are important because the choices they make will shape the destiny and profitability of the company.

Families also need strong leaders to create a vision and make decisions. However, their decisions are far more reaching because their choices shape the character of family members. From a broader perspective, our individual family decisions are shaping the moral fiber of our society.

What kind of leader are you? Do you know the targets you are striving for? Do you execute decisions with power and accuracy? Take a few minutes to reflect and meditate about your work and family decisions. It's never too late or too soon to make changes.
