One of the goals I gave myself this year has been to read 20 books--at least half of them not novels, and its been interesting to say the least! Not that I dont like to read; there was a time I'd have laughed at the paltry number. But the challenge to read at least half in books that are challenging my mindset has really been an awesome thing. Alot of the books I have chosen have been recommended by other UBBT members, whether our own team or mentioned on the UBBT site; some I eat up, others I have started then given up on. In all of this, I have been stretched.
One such book has really brought home a quote I stuck on my blog 'Look where you want to go.' It actually came from watching canadas worst driver, but it struck me as appropriate at the beginning of the UBBT--to focus on where I wanted to be. And in my reading, it just brought it back to my attention again; Look where you want to go--or how will you get there? Just like our forms, look at your opponent, or how will you hit him? I want to hit my goals-so I will keep them before me, to remind me the choices I make today should aim me in their direction.
