“It’s Not the Shot You Make, It is the Shot You Leave.” I borrowed this phrase from the game of pool. When you make a shot in pool your focus should be more on what shots you will leave for yourself than it is on making the immediate shot. Of course, you still need to make that shot.
If I apply this analogy to life it tells me that, Yes, I have to complete what I am doing. At the same time I need to have a sense of what I have to do next and am I setting myself up for it in an appropriate way.
Most goals have multiple milestones. In order to successfully achieve our goals we need to need to accomplish those milestones in such a way that we are setting ourselves up to tackle the next one successfully.
