Double Minded?

Seneca, the Stoic Philosopher, said, "Finally, everybody agrees that no one pursuit can be successfully followed by a man who is preoccupied with many things—eloquence cannot, nor the liberal studies—since the mind, when distracted, takes in nothing very deeply, but rejects everything that is, as it were, crammed into it. There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living: there is nothing that is harder to learn."

I wonder how many of us are so double minded that we are no good to anyone or to ourselves? Take a moment and ask yourself a couple of questions. "Am I a 'Jake of All Trades' and really good at nothing?" "What am I the best at?" "What can I do that no one else can do?"
Only people who are single minded accomplish great things! Those who discover what they do well and do that one thing well all the time are those who get ahead!

How many irons in the fire do you have?
