The Arrow
“The arrow is your goal. It is the link between the strength of the bow and the center of the target. Our goals must be extremely clear, direct, and balanced. Once released, it does not return; therefore, it is better to interrupt a process—when the actions that generated it were not precise and correct—than to continue it just because the bow was already drawn and the target prepared.But never hide your goal if the only thing holding you back is the fear of making a mistake. If you make the correct movements—opening your hand and releasing the arrow—you will not retreat and you will face challenges. Even if you do not hit the target, you will know how to aim better next time. If you do not take risks, you will never know what you should have done and did not do at that moment.” — Paulo Coelho
