When I was teaching karate, I would usually start with teaching people how to punch. There were some big guys who couldn’t punch. I mean these guys had huge arms – who could have lifted me up above their head – who just couldn’t get power into their punches.
Sometimes they missed the target. Sometimes they were trying too hard. But the usual problem was that they were too tense. And when you’re too tense, the harder you try, the slower (and worse!) everything works.
You probably know somebody who tries to do everything but not getting anywhere. They are doing this project and that project but end up just running into brick walls. Not always – sometimes they might have wins, but things just aren’t working together.
Like a restaurant that tries to be the cheapest and offer five-star service: It just doesn’t work. Either the service will suffer, or the food, or the environment – and often all three! You need to focus and you need to get everything aligned.
Genius demands alignment!
