The One Thing!

The One Thing

What makes high-achievers differ from the people who are just looking to get through the day? What is the one thing that separates successful people from nay-Sayers, complainers and gossipers? Why do some people wake-up everyday filled with loads of energy & enthusiasm while the rest are depressed and have lost faith in their destiny? Why life seems so predictable & simple for some people while it is filled with complexities & unpredictability for others?

Well, the answer to these seemingly composite questions is pretty forthright to you particularly, if you spend some time reflecting on your own thoughts. And the simple truth is that these people focus on “ONE THING”. It’s that simple and yet that complex. The hard reality of the modern world is that most people try to be “Jack of all Trades:. And in the process of doing so, they end up mastering nothing. And one of the major cause of this belief system comes from the delusion that people on the social media platforms present. They create a delusion among the content consumers that they are highly competent people in various arenas of life.

However, if you look at any successful franchise, business or individual for that matter, you will find one thing in common and that is nearly all of them are masters of their particular domain. In other words, they don’t try to be good at everything. They are very well aware of their circle of competence and they stay within that particular circle of competence. They don’t compromise their passion just because someone in any other field is making more paper (money) than them. And this is the reason why most people stay average all their life because they try to do everything in their life or even try to become someone for somebody which they are not.

The One Thing

Not all things in life are important! You must understand this deep into your spirit. There are only a few things that are important in life. You must find those things and prioritize them over everything else. And if you don’t, you will lie all your life unfulfilled, unhappy & depressed with a sense of dissatisfaction. The Key to your greatness is to find that ONE THING and master it better than anybody else in the world.

Why do you think Bill Gates & the company that he founded is so successful? Because they focus on one thing. They are not trying to provide every other service to everybody. They are saying, “Look, we are successful because we dominate the software world”. They found their niche early on and then dominate the software industry. What do you think of when  I say, “ Virat Kohli, Roger Federer, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Warren Buffett, Nelson Mandela, Oprah Winfrey or Stephen Hawking?” Isn’t this amazing that you already created a picture about these people in your mind & their areas of domain? Now, let me ask you another question: What will we remember you for? When we think of you, what comes to our mind first? Do not be so busy in becoming a jack of all trades that you have no time to become master of none of them. At the very least, find something to master. Find your ONE THING and set out on the journey to become a master of it. Share your thoughts!
