ONE THING

ONE THING
In my twenties, I used to pride myself on being a multi-talented multitasker! I could do so many things, and I tend to do most of them at the same time.
In fact, I once had on my CV - "I'm a multi-tasker par excellence. I am able to multitask at the highest level of precision and accuracy". Don't ask me where I got that line from. haha.
The interesting thing was, I was getting lots of praises from people who were using me!
But I was not effective in any of those things I was doing. I was not making impact and influence and significance seemed very far away.
Why am I sharing this with you?
Beloved,
Please reject the lure to be a multitasker, especially at the start of your purpose journey.
The praise of men can be very tempting but most of the people praising you are just using you!
To really make impact and be influential, you first have to be known for ONE THING!
Go and ask anyone you know that is great today, they started with their ONE THING!
I love the words of Paul the Apostle, "this one thing I do..."
SO, WHAT IS YOUR ONE THING?
One of the surest ways to live a purposeful life is to START WITH ONE THING!
Find your most dominant gift, focus on it, commit to it, and build a personal brand on it.
When that ONE THING becomes successful, people will naturally trust any other of your expressions.
But when starting out, focus is key, to build something of significance, worthwhile, and lasting.
Again, what is your one thing?
I believe in you.
