Visualise your Goal
The Catalina Island is twenty-one miles away from the coast of California, and
many people have taken the challenge to swim across it.
On July 4th 1952, Florence Chadwick stepped into the water off Catalina
Island to swim across to the California coast. She started well and on
course, but later fatigue set in, and the weather became cold.
She persisted, but fifteen hours later, numb and cold, she asked to be taken
out of the water.
After she recovered, she was told that she had been pulled out only half a
mile away from the coast. She commented that she could have made it, if the
fog had not affected her vision and she would have just seen the land.
She promised that this would be the only time that she would ever quit.
She went back to her rigorous training. And two months later she swam that
same channel. The same thing happened. The fatigue set in, and the fog
obscured her view, but this time she swam with faith and vision of the land in
her mind. She knew that somewhere behind the fog was land.
She succeeded and became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel. She
even broke the men's record by two hours.
SUCCESS PRINCIPLES
When you set your goal, keep pressing on even when you are tired, physically
and mentally, and even though there are many challenges ahead.
Keep the vision of your goal crystal clear before you and never, never, never…
give up!
See the reaching, commit to it, and you will surely see your goal realized.
