Perfect Practice, Makes Perfect
Perfect practice, makes perfect. Once again I am reminded of several lessons in hitting my targets. …
I found recurring consistencies which reinforce a simple concept, which is one of the most powerful lessons, that I believe can be learned. “If you believe you can do something, you can.”
John Delavera sent out an email with the statement included: “Do you (want to) believe in YOUR success?”, which spawned a spark of intensity within me. I believe the message was sent to all of his Turbo Members. He reflects on an article of his which he wrote in 2003, called “I Have a Vision“. He then goes on to speak of an interview with Tony Robbins, Frank Kern and John Reese in his blog post. This is hugely powerful stuff John is referring to. (the link to the Tony Robbins video is in John’s blog post)
Master Ric Pascetta, and Head of AGKAI (American Goju Karate Association International) and my Teacher (Sensei) in Martial Arts, also teaches the same exact thing. From picking a target in your mind, to then taking action first, and letting the body, naturally follow.

Master Ric Pascetta & Aaron A LaRiche
This lesson has been with me from my early beginnings in martial arts, right up to highly advanced training, and all in between. Such as a skip-step front kick executed purely by belief and choice of action, landing perfectly. Even more recently, Master Pascetta provided me a lesson which I understood on a level so much more fundamental and universal, than the many times I previously was exposed to it. And the lesson consisted completely of a blank piece of white paper, with a black marker spot in the center. Just a spot drawn with a regular sharpie. Simple.
By physically hitting this dot, my mind is conditioned to hit it again successfully, and duplicate the result, no matter where that dot may move to, or pop up in the future. By training my mind, so vividly, over and over, I am able to execute the same result at will. Mark Joyner calls it step #3: Hit It (Until You Hit It) in his Scientific Formula for Success, found through his Simpleology 101 Course.
If we can’t see our target, we cannot ever hit it accurately. Even when action is taken. But when we envision hitting our target successfully, over and over, then we can envision hitting it perfectly, and when we perform the action later on, we can actually hit it… perfectly!
- How does this visualization of “peak state”, as Tony Robbins calls it, work so well?
- Why does Mark Joyner say it is Step#1 in Scientific Formula for Success?
- How can John Delavera tell the future?
- Why does Master Pascetta offer a dot on an otherwise blank sheet of paper as a superior technique for expert black belts?
Because we condition ourselves to achieve our mission, hit our targets, and conquer our goals. Whether it’s throwing a punch, or launching a product website, or creating a product to sell or giveaway. If we condition ourselves that we will do it, and do it perfectly… we will.
Manifest the action it takes to hit your targets, with belief in your perfect execution of action, and you will hit your goals, every time.
Please share with me, if you found this helpful, or not… annoying or interesting… it doesn’t matter. What I care about is sharing the understanding which I have gained.
Check out the links on this post, and then let me know what your thoughts are. I am truly interested.

Focus on a target, plan the path, walk the path. The only way to succeed in achieving your goals in life is to do this. It is always wonderful along the way to share what you have learned along this path, whether it be mistakes or triumphs. I wholly agree with this form of practice. Look forward to walking with you soon…

This post is right on the mark. Having confidence and believing that a goal can be achieved are vital steps toward actually reaching the goal. Firearms instructors use very similar strategies and techniques to instruct officers to hit the target. The ability to visualize the desired outcome, focus intensely on the sights then flawlessly execute the shot are a matter of life and death. These same steps can also be a powerful formula for success when applied to personal goals.
