Target
Try to understand better
Since time immemorial, children are being insisted on studying well. Right from their Kindergarten (KG) till they complete their graduation everybody around them, be it parents, teachers, relatives, friends or rather neighbors, each and every individual stresses on the point “CONCENTRATE WELL AND STUDY, SET YOUR TARGET AND GO IN IT’S PATH”. It has become more like a mantra chanted to every student. Everybody insists on concentration in studies, but does anyone know how to study with full focus and concentration? Has anyone taught us the method to concentrate and study without deviation?
Till date no one knows, how to focus? How to concentrate and study without deviation? No one has taught the students to focus, but they expect them to be the topper, leader and come out with flying colors. Same way they insist on setting a target, but they themselves do not know what is a target? They get confused between target, aim and ambition. Probably, they don’t know the difference between these.
Target is something which you want to achieve. In other words it is the one which you want to attain in life.
Thinking deeply over your target and making it the sole reason for your birth and life is aim
Ambition is the path to your target, or rather the ways in which you travel to achieve your target. In other words working towards your target is called ambition
Let us take an example, if suppose you want to become a doctor, becoming a doctor is your target, making the doctor profession as your passion is your aim, and working towards attaining that doctor graduation is ambition
So now, How to find out the target?
Is it your life — time target?
There are three steps to find out your target; First you need to understand the target (i.e.) analyse your target, categorise whether it is short — term target or long — term target or life — time target. Secondly, plan your target to reach it out; planning includes organizing and structuring your work. Lastly, you need to implement your plan in the right way and execute it.
Everybody has their own perceptive view of target, depending upon their brain. A human in adolescent age has a different view of target, whereas the target of a young person is different, in the same way the target of an adult (30 +) is different from others. Each and every individual needs to sense their target and most important than that is they need the proper guidance to work towards their target.
Everything depends on the mindset of a person; only a person who acquires positive mindset can attain his target. People tend to set wrong target due to inspiration over other famous personalities. Positive target may be diluted as days go by due to the impact of other people around. They push their negative thoughts on you, ultimately one fine day this creates an impact on your mind and make you lead a practical life. Everything is created from peer reference, but very often most of them do not realise the peer group pressure.
For example, if you want to become an astronaut, you share it with your family members, friends, relatives and neighbours. Obviously everyone will raise the cons of the profession and change your positive mindset into negative mindset. Ultimately, this dilutes your mind and you begin leading a simple and practical day — to — day life.
What is the solution for it? How to acquire a creative target? Let us visualize on all these now.
How to acquire creative target?
Creative target could be achieved using three criteria as Creativity, Imagination and Visualization
Creating a picture in your mind about whatever you think is visualization
Connecting all the visualized images in a sequential action is imagination, in other words connecting all the images into action.
Instilling illogical connectivity to your imagination is creativity, the illogical connection may not exist but it should be coherent
For instance, you want to go a walk on the beach but you are travelling on board somewhere else, bringing out a clear picture of the beach, you walking on the beach and seeing the sea, this is visualization, viewing all this in a continuous action is termed as imagination, though you are on board still your feeling the breeze in the beach, hearing the sound of the waves, all this is creativity
All this depends on our mindset, the only constraint is that the connectivity should be a CONSTRUCTIVE, POSITIVE CONNECTIVITY, in earlier days the famous personality Barathiyar stated in one of his poems as “There is a ship even to reach the moon”, this shows his creativity, in those days it was considered as stupidity, but today spaceships are being sent to the moon.
Probably, now you could understand what creativity is, every individual has their own creativity, each one needs to trigger it, and creativity cannot be created it should be acquired. Are you creative? How far is your creativity?
First you need to set and establish your target. Creative target is based upon three verticals, namely, target, dream and reality
What is the relation between target, dreams and reality?
We have already discussed enough about what is target? How to find out your target? By now you would have got a clear picture about target, so now let me make it clear about dreams
The dream we are going to discuss here is not the fantasy dream which we get during our night sleep or neither it is a nightmare, it is about the LIFEDREAM, the dream about your target. To be more specific, the path to achieve your target is your dream, you need to think of your dream in your each and every breath to achieve your target. When you start living your dream, the distance to your target decreases and reaches reality.
Most of them have a craze towards Mercedes Benz, so now if you want to travel in a Benz you need to feel that you are travelling in a Benz always. If you are travelling in a bike or an auto, in reality you will naturally be disturbed by the noise around you and by the weather conditions, but when you induce all your sensory organs you can imagine that you are seated inside the Benz car or probably you yourself driving it. Nothing around you should disturb you, according to your mindset now you are inside the Mercedes Benz car, it is not really happening, but you should feel that it is really happening, that is creative target.
When you continuously keep correlating all the events to your creative target obviously your thought process will always work only towards your dream. When you start living with your dream, it automatically reflects on your mindset and it becomes a positive target and does not become diluted.
Living your dreams with positive thoughts will open multiple options to you, for example if you are planning to walk 10 kilometers, you can do it by walk, bicycle, bike, auto, car, helicopter or flight, likewise you will start thinking in multiple dimensions for any instance.
Once you start working this way, you will start developing a very strong positive mindset which cannot be diluted; it triggers all your sensory perceptions.
