Climbing the Stairs

When climbing stairs, is your focus on the stairs themselves or the destination?

Don't bother setting goals on reaching certain steps. You'll reach that step and feel a false sense of accomplishment having reached it, when in reality you still didn't get where you want to get to (the ultimate aim at the top).

Having a goal is only good as a strategy to distract from the difficulty of the task, but if the task itself is the point (as is the case in Budo training), then setting lots of little goals along the way will only lead you away from the task eventually.
The only aim should be on reaching the top of the stairs, not little intermediate goals along the way.



In our Budo training, seek only to be the best that you can be and to constantly improve!
Don't distract yourself with little goals and false accomplishments.
