There was once a young boy named Johnny who had just started to study Taekwondo and wanted to achieve full splits. So he went to Master LeGrand and asked him how long it would take.  Master LeGrand looked at the boy and asked him, “What is your goal? When would you like to achieve full splits?  In 2 years, in 1 year or perhaps in 6 months?” The young boy said, “Well I don’t know. That’s the reason I’m here, to ask you when I should expect to be in the full splits.”  Master LeGrand told the boy to follow him outside, where some students were practicing target kicking.  One of them, Colin, was hitting the bullseye with every kick.  It was evident that he was the best kicker in the whole school.  He seemed to hit the target right in the middle every single time.  Master LeGrand asked the boy, “Do you think you could be as good as kicker as Colin?” The young boy quickly said, “No! Not without a lot of practice.”

Master LeGrand then said, “What if I put a blindfold on Colin and turned him around a few times so he doesn’t know exactly where his target is, would you then be better than him?” “Sure. I’d beat him easily!” said the boy. “You are saying that Colin could not hit a target he could not see, aren’t you?” continued Master LeGrand.

“That’s right,” said the boy. “Well, if Colin can’t hit a target he cannot see, how are you going to hit a target you can’t see?  If you do not set a goal, you have nothing to shoot at which is worse than having a blindfold. That is why you need to set goals, to give you a target you can see to shoot at.  Do you understand?” The young boy  thought about  this for a moment. “Yes,” he answered.  “I have to set a goal for how long it will take me to achieve full splits, then I should work hard so that I can reach my goal.” “Exactly!” said Master LeGrand. The boy ran off to find a calendar, so he could set a date in the future to be his target for getting in the full splits club.
