I recently received this message from Ron White and wanted to pass it along for all to absorb.
Welcome!
I was recently getting my truck washed and as I waited for the attendants to scrub the dirt from my bumper, I was distracted by a man with a powerful water hose in his hands. He was shooting a high pressure water stream at the wheels of another car and the force of the water began to hypnotize me. For a moment it numbed my thought process and I was lost in watching the water ricochet off the rims.
Snap! Boom! Whoooosh!
In an instant, water was EVERYWHERE! The hose that started on the ceiling of the car port had broken midway and a dangling hose was throwing water in all directions. The hose was out of control. It looked like a balloon that was deflating and whirling in every direction.
As I watched a hose twist with vengeance I couldn't help but smile. I realized that only seconds earlier this hose was serving a good purpose and then suddenly when the same energy of water was no longer focused - not only was it useless it was a nuisance and destructive.
Life is very much like this hose. Inside of each living person is incredible force. This force can cure disease, grow ideas, build businesses or make a positive impact on the world. However, for the force inside you and me to be useful it must be focused. Everyday you see unfocused lives just like the snapped hose. These lives are all over the place and lives of frustration and unrealized dreams.
Do not allow yourself to enter the New Year like a snapped hose bouncing back and forth accomplishing nothing. Instead, harness the force inside of you by focusing yourself on just a few key goals. If you set too many goals you will lose focus and fail to harness your energy because it will be scattered on so many ideas. If you set too small of goals they will fail to inspire you and you will be like a hose that was never turned on.
Dream big – but with a narrow focus and you will truly astound yourself at what you are capable of. Your life is like a powerful hose – but for it to be useful you must be focused.
