Are You Focu?!}&$#+>ing

“Look up and not down. Look forward and not back. Look out and not in, and lend a hand.”

~Edward Everett Horton~

There are thousands of gurus and wannabes telling you to get focused.  Then – in the same breath – they tell you to write down a gazillion goals for seven or eight categories, then narrow them down to a half-dozen or so and focus on them.

So now you have, let’s say, 40 goals that you are supposed to focus on.  The only trouble is that the 39 sitting on your hard drive are screaming for your attention.  When a stumbling block arrives – as it always does – you jump to another and then another, and then it’s lunchtime, then it’s siesta time, then it’s dinner time, and finally it’s Miller time.

If you snooze, you lose in this high-pace world we live in.  But the whole tamale does not consist of 40 appetizers to choose from, rather from one entree to nibble at until it is consumed.
