If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one. – Russian Proverb
Just started listening to “The One Thing” and this quote was on the outside of the book.
I have written a lot about the power of focus so I won’t focus (see what I did there) on that for today’s email.
Instead, I want to challenge you to think about the rabbits.
How many rabbits are you chasing?
Look at how you spend your time.
Look at which relationships you are investing time in.
Look at what you think about all the time (this one is going to require some serious yoga moves).
Look at how you spend your money.
I had an interesting conversation with someone recently where he was articulating some struggles he was having juggling several priorities. Hearing him describe the situation made it completely clear that he just needed to decide what was most important right now.
He simply had to choose.
It was clear only after he had articulated the situation to me.
Find a way to tell someone how many rabbits you are chasing. Or just write it down.
I bet you will be surprised at the results.
Then take action. Make the hard choice. Choose one thing over another.
You deserve it.
Make it a great day.
