jmfargoMaria recently took me aside, as I was explaining to her that I had another idea to make money, and told me an ancient Chinese proverb, as handed down to her in class: "A man chasing two rabbits ultimately catches none."
While I disagree with the statement (my original reply was "A man with a gun can chase three rabbits, and have a nice dinner"), the thought behind it is true. I have a million ideas, each one bound to bring me money, fame, friends, and fortune, but my ability to actually follow through with them is lacking. I have to focus. I have to pay attention to just one thing, not 78,642. If I can do that, I have a chance at success.
So I'm focusing. Still, on more than one thing because that's boring, but definitely on less than before. Here are my three focal points:
1. Clean the house, keeping it neat and tidy.
~You'd think this wouldn't be a focus, if you didn't know me. Anyone who has been in my house in the past knows that I need to focus deeply to get this one. I'm bad at "tidy," and horrible at "neat."
2. Pizzeria
~I want to start my own pizzeria, with the focal point being pizza and wings.
3. Food competitions
~This is on-the-side, but could very easily become a much more solid and mainstream part of my life if it turns out that I can do well in them. If I enter 100 and am not even close to winning, well, then I'll probably slow down, not enter a million at once, and just do a few here and there, but until then I want this to be part of the things I focus on.
So, there. Focus. Clean, create, and cook.
Oh, and lose weight.
And blog in all 7 of my blogs every day.
While we're at it, I need to keep taking pictures, and get better at that.
Plus volunteering at the SPCA.
Also, there's all these rabbits running around.
