Commitment vs Focus

Focus enables us to zero in on a task and force ourselves to work until we complete that singular task. Commitment is the dedication that fuels our focus. We might be focusing on a few tasks at any point in time, but if we are not committed to them, they will never get done. We’ll look at them, stare at them, turn them around, and figure out which is the best way to attack them and then dive in. In most cases, the problem isn’t in our commitment but what we have focused on, we picked the wrong thing and now we

The Weakest Member on your Team

It’s going to happen. One day, as you look through all the successes of your team, as you sit atop your plateau, you will start to wonder why you haven’t grown any further. Everyone else will be happy with your success, but something will be nagging at you, something will be tugging at you asking that question that you know is always there. Who is holding us back?

What made you succeed?

Following the process? Doing what everyone said? Never changing direction? Staying with the status quo? Never breaking the mold? Always doing what you were told? Never trying something new?

I Braved the ______________

Call it Cold, Rain, Sun, Heat, Hail. But did you really “Brave” it? Did you pick up a sword and go fight it? Or did you put on a coat or some sunscreen? Cape Town is braving the weather, what they have to do next, that’s bravery. We’re not braving the weather, we’re simply living with it. Turn your tap off for a week if you’re confused about the difference.
