“A man’s power and intelligence are limited. He who wants to do everything will never do anything.”- Andre Maurois

One of the best ways to succeed is to do what you can do well. Success requires focus. It requires discipline. If you spread your focus too thin, if you don’t focus on what you do, your dreams, your goals, if you don’t focus on where you are, where you are going, how can you succeed?

Don’t try to do everything, but try to do something. Do what you are good at. Know what you can do. Focus on your strengths, not on your weaknesses. Success comes from your strengths, not from your weaknesses. If you focus on your strengths, you will grow stronger and better. But if you focus on your weaknesses, you will grow smaller and weaker.

Don’t spread yourself too thin. Don’t focus on everything, focus on something. Focus on one thing and do it well. Focus equals success.

The Best Gift You Can Give Yourself

It is easier to be someone you are not than to be your real self. You can’t be your real self if you are not true to yourself. You can’t connect with your real self if you don’t know yourself. Don’t hide who you are. Be proud of who you really are. Don’t waste your time trying to be something different. The more you do that, the more you are moving away from your real self. To connect with your inner self, you must be yourself.

It is easier to get what you want if you know yourself. If you don’t know yourself, if you are not true to yourself, if you are not your real self, you can’t pursue your dreams. Even if you pretend to do something to better your life, you will end doing the wrong thing. According to Margaret Young, “… you must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.” In order to get what you have been fighting for, you must first be who you really are. If not, you are in for a long walk.
