Goals and the Brick layers
Many years ago I heard this story about what is took to achieve your goals. I hope you like it...
One day a man saw two men laying bricks in the middle of a field. Intrigued by the sight the man walked over to the first man and asked him, "What are you doing?" The brick layer said, "What do you think I am doing? I am laying bricks stupid!"
The man shook his head, then walked over to the second man and asked him, "What are you doing?" The brick layer looked up with a smile and a gleam in his eyes, "I am building a Castle!"
Both men were doing practically the same thing. The difference was that the first was focused on the moment, the physical task at hand. All he could see was the work and how difficult and boring it was. The second was focused on the ultimate results of his labor. The time would come when the goal and dream would take the place of his current hardships.
