Can you really do anything you want to do in life? Is it true that no matter what you set your mind to, you can achieve it? Wow – how overhwelming is that? Even if that’s so, I wonder how some people can have so much fervor and ambition to make any one thing work out successfully. It’s like they have this ability to block out all other exciting opportunities and focus just on the “one”. How do you do that? How do you concentrate on one thing so much that all other “things” pale in comparison? I’ve always lacked the gene that allows me to focus on only one thing at a time. It’s kind of a creative ADD, if you will. Everything has so much promise and excitement, that I cannot contain myself.

Any advice in this area would be madly appreciated. As much as I would love to appreciate the gift of creativity & the ability to see the possibilities in so many things, I would love, even more, to stick to one thing that touches my heart so deeply that all other possibilities fade into the background. So … how does one do this? Any ideas?
