Why You Should Validate Your Existing Beliefs

Let me tell you a story about this beach. As I do so, consider this question: In what ways do you inexplicably chase after things that may not benefit you?

This beach is located on the Ne Pali Coast in beautiful Kauai, Hawaii. It is rumored that this beach, because of its seclusion, is the burial grounds for many of the ancient tribal Chiefs. This beach, among the cliffs surrounding it were hard to get to. It was believed that once a chief died, his bones held a supernatural power, and if found by others they could be used against the chief’s tribe. When chiefs died, their bones were collected and taken to the cliffs, and the warrior who transported the bones had to die in order to ensure the secrecy of the location of the bones.

In your life, do you simply follow suit with what you’re told? Or, do you validate the things you learn? Maybe the bones had supernatural powers, but likely they didn’t. However, no one in the tribe questioned it. They followed tradition out of fear.

My point is this, Validate everything. If it works, add it to your repertoire. If it fails, so be it, and leave it behind as a learning moment.

As a coach my job is to help people find greater levels of success in their shooting and their lives by challenging their current thinking habits, introducing new concepts, and helping them find clarity regarding what they are doing. Action without clarity leads to severe inefficiencies.

If you have goals you are working toward and need some new perspective, Id be happy to help you get clarity and direction on your goals. Just email me at coaching@budheaton.com. I look forward to talking with you!
