‘what we choose to focus on and how we shape our intentions are just as important as the effort we put into the action itself’
quotingThe Importance of What You Throw
note1dj3…fr4f
It’s not just about the act of throwing; it’s about what you’re throwing. When I think about hitting targets with rocks—a practice I sometimes engage in—I realize that the object itself holds more significance than the method. The integrity and design of the object, whether it’s structurally sound or well-suited for its purpose, often determine the accuracy of the throw.
Of course, the technique matters. How you throw, the aim, and the focus are all essential. But it’s the nature of what you’re throwing that carries greater weight.
Imagine a perfectly spherical stone versus one with jagged edges—the latter’s irregular shape disrupts its trajectory, influenced by the unpredictable dynamics of air resistance.
Sometimes, before you even release the object, there’s a sense, an intuition, that you’re going to hit the target. It’s a feeling that, when acknowledged, becomes part of a larger pattern of recognition—a link between intuition and action. Over time, you learn to trust this instinct, refining your ability to act on it.
In the end, what you throw—the object itself—matters deeply. Its design, weight, and balance all play a role in whether it reaches its mark.
In life, as in throwing, what we choose to focus on and how we shape our intentions are just as important as the effort we put into the action itself.
