There is a scene in the movie City Slickers where the wise, old cowboy, Curly, tells Mitch, one of the city slickers visiting the dude ranch, the secret to life. Curly (played by Jack Pallance) says, "It's One Thing..." To which Mitch (played by Billy Crystal) asks, "What is the ONE THING?" It is the ONE THING that matters at the time. We are told that it is important to be able to "multitask," (which, by the way, is impossible for our brains to do). But real success is found in focusing on ONE THING at a time. A great way to think of the word FOCUS is to use an acronym: Follow One Course Until Successful. What is your "ONE THING" that you should be working on today? What's your ONE THING on which you should focus your attention to this month? What's your ONE THING in life? As it has been said long ago, "He who chases two rabbits catches neither of them."
