Be A Moving Target!

Be a Moving Target

Being a moving target is more than just a metaphor; it's a philosophy that champions perpetual growth and evolution. It entails an unwavering commitment to self-improvement, a willingness to embrace change, and an insatiable curiosity about the world. As the renowned author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins once said, "The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment."

Why Should You Be a Moving Target?

People should strive to be moving targets because stagnant waters breed stagnation. Here's why embracing the ethos of a moving target is crucial:

  1. Continuous Growth: Life is a journey of learning and development. By being a moving target, individuals commit themselves to continuous personal and professional growth. This mindset fosters resilience, adaptability, and the ability to thrive in an ever-changing world.
  2. Resilience: Life is full of ups and downs, successes, and failures. Being a moving target instills resilience, enabling individuals to bounce back from setbacks, learn from failures, and persevere in the face of adversity. This resilience is essential for personal growth and achieving long-term success.
  3. Fulfillment: Embracing growth and evolution leads to a more fulfilling life. By constantly striving to improve oneself, pursue passions, and explore new opportunities, individuals can live with purpose and satisfaction, knowing that they are continuously evolving and making a positive impact on the world around them.

In essence, being a moving target is about embracing change, fostering growth, and living life to the fullest. It's a mindset that empowers individuals to adapt, innovate, and thrive in an ever-changing world, ultimately leading to personal fulfillment and success.


Peaks and Valleys

Life is a journey marked by highs and lows, triumphs and setbacks, peaks, and valleys. Each peak represents a moment of success, accomplishment, or happiness, while each valley symbolizes challenges, failures, or hardships. However, it's essential to recognize that both peaks and valleys are integral parts of human experience. In the words of American author and poet Maya Angelou, "We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated."


Three Tips for Being a Moving Target

  1. Cultivate Curiosity: Approach life with an insatiable curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. Keep asking questions, exploring new ideas, and seeking out novel experiences. As Albert Einstein famously said, "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious."
  2. Embrace Change: Learn to embrace change as an opportunity for growth rather than a threat. Be flexible, adaptable, and open-minded in the face of uncertainty. As Heraclitus, the Greek philosopher, aptly put it, "The only constant in life is change."
  3. Set Bold Goals: Dare to dream big and set audacious goals that push you out of your comfort zone. As author and motivational speaker Les Brown advises, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars."


Being a moving target is the melody of growth, evolution, and curiosity. It's about embracing change, navigating through life's peaks and valleys with resilience, and continually striving to become the best version of oneself. As the American entrepreneur Jim Rohn once said, "Your level of success will seldom exceed your level of personal development, because success is something you attract by the person you become." Embrace the journey, embrace growth, and be a moving target. Remember, never let em' see you sweat, keep going! Cheers!
