On the night before Opening Day of Deer Hunting--practically a holiday in some parts of the country--it only seems appropriate to talk about taking the perfect shot, chasing the "BIG ONE", and coming home with a trophy to brag about for the ages.
I tweeted once before: If it almost happened...IT NEVER REALLY HAPPENED. The most annoying hunters, fisherman, and tall-tale tellers can relive their story of the "one that got away." Great stuff around the campfire, but there is not much, if anything, to show for it. On the opposite side of the spectrum, somebody has the shoulder mount on the wall. The meat in the freezer. The money in the bank. Those "somebodies" have INTEGRITY. That's right. INTEGRITY. At the simplest level, people with INTEGRITY do what they say they are going to do. It's one thing to say you're going to save $1000 this month; It's another to check that account at the end of it. It's easy to say you'll be to work on time. It's another to be there on time...every. single. day. It's one thing to want to improve your marriage; it's another to make reservations and find a babysitter... You have to have INTEGRITY. Sometimes....YOU HAVE TO JUST DO IT. And then....you have to do it consistently. What is the size of the "rack" on your wall? Was there a decent amount of time that went into your hunt? Did you see a "thirty pointer"? Or did you pull the trigger? There is nothing wrong with planning. ...With setting goals. ...with aspiring to be and do better. It is only a problem if you don't actually DO IT. Be Safe. Pursue the BIG ONE. then...PULL THE TRIGGER.
