Focus

Focus is the key to greatness! Tiger Woods, Micheal Phelps, Lebron James all do one thing incredibly well. They don't play several sports....only one....and they are the best in the world at them (sorry Kobe Bryant). A life coach of mine once told me that my greatest hindrance in life and leadership would be that I am good at many things. (I didn't know whether he was complimenting me or setting me up, of which it turned out to be the latter.) He said, you have to FOCUS on 1 or 2, and set out to be the best in those areas. He challenged me to let some things go.
That was a very hard lesson that I am seeing come true. The things I used to be good at, as I grow and the church grows, are now being exposed as "not so good." I must allow others who are more gifted in those areas, lead in those areas, while I narrow my focus on the few things I can be the best at. It is not easy, but it is necessary. So how is your focus?
