“Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.”- Peter Drucker

Happiness comes from doing what is in front of us. We try to multitask ourselves, but it is hard to do. We think we are ready for it, “but research has shown that our brains are not nearly as good at handling multiple tasks as we like to think they are.”

If you really want to enjoy your life, if you want to enjoy your work, focus on one thing at a time. Don’t listen to those who brag about how good they are at doing one trillion things at the same time. They are just bragging! Just bragging!

You are supposed to enjoy what you are doing, right? But if you engage yourself in multiple tasks at the same time, you are reducing the fun that comes from your work. If you are not enjoying your work, think about it. Ask yourself, “Is this job the right one for me?” If not, find a way to make it better. If you can’t make it better, it is time to move forward.

Doing multiple things at the same time is good, but not for everyone. Some people are good at it, others not. If you are not one of them, don’t do it. If you want to enjoy your work, focus on what is right in front of you.

Refuse To Be Average.

You were created to excel in life, not be an average person. You are here on earth to do great things, to be positive, to live your full life, to reach your full potential, to shine.

You cannot achieve greatness in life if you see yourself as an average person. No, you are not. Do not see yourself as an average person. See yourself as a full person. You are a full person.

Do not limit your life. Do not limit yourself. You are bigger than you can ever imagined. The greatness in you is bigger than what you can even think about. So allow it to grow. Do not kill your dreams. Let your dreams soar. Let them expand.

Do not settle for less. A.W. Tolzer said, “Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will.” This is true because you are the only person who can limit yourself. Believe in yourself. Do not run away from opportunities. Opportunities are everywhere. They are waiting for you to take them home. Leave your comfort zone, go make your dreams happen.

We have more than one billion people who are ready to talk you down. Do not let that happen. Do not allow people to tell you what you can or cannot do. They do not know who you are; they don’t know what you can do. Focus on what you can do. Do not focus on what you cannot do. Believe in yourself. You can achieve your dreams. Don’t settle for average. Refuse to be average. Your dream is in your own hands. Go out and get it!
