Notice the direct and straight line from one end of the ruler to the other? Imagine the left end symbolizes today's date (point A) and the right end symbolizes the completion of your most daring dream (point B). So here's the question. How long would it take you to get from point A to point B in your life if you kept to the straight edge?
We're not referencing moral choices (although those are important). No, what we're exploring is the following concept:
The fastest path to completion is daily "goal focus."
In other words, how often do you keep your goal (point B) in mind? Because if you're not thinking on it daily, you are more likely to stray from the straight edge of the direct line. And we all know that in general physics, the shortest path between two points is a straight line. Deviating interrupts your progress.
So today's assignment is to do the following. It couldn't be easier:
1. Get a ruler or other straight edge.
2. Get your Reality notebook you are creating.
3. Within your book, draw a straight line at least eight inches long.
4. Label the left end "point A" and write today's date.
5. Label the right end "point B" and write the future date of your completed dream.
Do NOT write anything yet in between those two points. We will be working on that in future simple assignments. But for the time being, simply ponder on the concept of a straight edge and how following it will lead you far more efficiently to your desired goal. In fact, if you like, remove your new "ruler" page from your notebook and tape it to your bathroom mirror.
