Make a Dent



Make a Dent
My new favorite author is Seth Godin.  He wrote this recently.

“Are you making a dent in the universe?  Lots of random pokes in many different spots are unlikely to leave much of an impact.”

"Random pokes don’t leave much of an impact."  

That means I need to focus.

One of my favorite books is The Winds of War by Herman Wouk.  Mr. Wouk recounts a scene in which General Tillet, military author and a commanding general for England during WWII, is making an observation about Hermann Goering.

He said, “His mission is mastery of the air, not blockade.  Define your mission!  Define your mission and stick to it!” 

What is your mission? 

Are you poking at it or making a dent?

Define your mission.

That is focus.
  
Make a Dent!
