Spread thin

 “Spread yourself too thin, and you will have nothing to give.” 

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years.

Somehow they always escape so fast.

I have so much I want to do. It is actually overwhelming. I feel like if I ever want to achieve the plethora of dreams that float inside my mind I must be working toward at least one of them every second of every day. Therefore,

I am spread thin.

A few questions I ask myself every single day:

• Who am I living for?

• What is my goal today?

• Where will this get me?

• When will I be fulfilled?

• Why am I doing this?

• How will this get me where I want to go?

Every single action I take, I want to have a purpose. Without a purpose, there is no reason for doing it.

But as a result of taking constant, purposeful actions, I have spread myself thin.

Or have I?

Here’s how I look at it:

If I took all my time and invested it in one thing, I could probably master that thing. But how long would it take? And how much would I miss out on during that time? On the other hand, if I dedicate maximum attention to multiple things at different times of the day, will I eventually be able to master them all. Or will I never truly be a master in any?

As the saying goes, “jack of all trades, master of none.”

Today, my goal is not to inspire anyone.

Today, my goal is to make you feel like you aren’t alone.

If you share my passion, my mindset, my philosophy, you experience this. I know you do.

I don’t know where I am going, and that’s okay.

The more I live the more I figure things out, but right now, I am fine with admitting I don’t know anything. I simply attempt to teach what I do know. 

Here’s the message:

Question yourself constantly. If you aren’t questioning yourself, you aren’t learning. Make sure you know why you do what you do. Without knowing why there is no purpose. 

After all, all we want in life is to have a purpose.

My goal is to help others better themselves while doing the same.
