If you’ve ever taken your son to an archery range, you know that hitting the bullseye is harder than it looks. After you knock the arrow, you draw the bowstring back—then take careful aim. Your goal is to successfully hit the target.
The same is true in parenting your son.
Zig Ziglar, an author and motivational speaker, understood this principle well. He said,
“You hit what you aim at, and if you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.”
As you train your son, provide challenges and encouragement that will help him grow in specific areas of life. By being intentional in what you want to accomplish, you’ll see your son zoom toward the target.
