Don't be a goose - you can't do it all

Don't be a goose - you can't do it all

Author: Dan Miller - 48 Days & Glassbox Media December 2, 2022 Duration: 34:48

A goose can walk, sing, fly and swim - but doesn't do any of those things very well. Being good at one thing will make you more notable than being ok at a lot of things.

Questions:

1. I was able to leave my 9-5 job this year because I've written several dog mystery books!

2. I can't seem to find a fulfilling career that I can grow in.

3. I'm employed as an airline pilot and love the work. However, with 3 young kids at home, I find myself wanting to spend more time with them.

4. I have always been taught to work on my weaknesses because they are skills that can be learned.

I've talked about seeing people who are depressed, bitter, angry, discouraged, frustrated, guilty, resentful, or blaming. They are being pushed by some kind of pain. As soon as they get clear on what they want their life to look like next year - with clear goals and a plan of action - those negative emotions diminish and disappear. Don't be pushed by pain - Allow your vision to pull you
