Focus

There’s a saying I recently came across. “You only have one rear end; try not to ride too many horses at once.” Basically, we often find ourselves committing to many things. We have an immense amount of focus and willpower; however, when we divide it among many different endeavors, it has a tendency to distract us from our overall purpose.

We all have a grand purpose. If we find ourselves stressed or burned out, quite often it’s due to pursuits that we are choosing to devote our energy toward, which is taking us away from our purpose and passion, instead of gravitating us closer.

It’s very important to take the time and realign ourselves as we travel down life’s journey. Keep your eye on the ball as some things may have changed. Stay focused on the grand purpose ahead.
