Today’s ONE THING…

Let’s look at this concept of the 5% one more time.  Think about it like this:

• Life – any life – is a precious gift from God and is good.  It’s sort of like reading by candle light, it may not be the best way but it sure beats trying to read in the dark.
• A focused life is even better.  It’s the difference between candlelight and a flashlight; now you can really begin to see things clearly.
• A fine-tuned focused life is even better than that.  It’s the difference between a flash light and a laser beam.  A flash light helps you to see, a laser bean helps you to change things.

Here’s the way I describe it – make it your goal in life to spend more and more of your life about less and less.  There will always have to be a certain amount of your time devoted to things that anyone can do, but the areas that only you can do is the sweet spot of life.  Those 5% things are where you have the most impact and also where your life will be most fulfilled.

What those 5% issues are must be determined between you and your Maker, but I’ll leave you with this hint – whether in your personal life, professional life and life in general – most, if not all, of the 5% issues in your life will deal with relationships.  Take a look there and you will be on the right track.

Well, that’s enough said about the 5% principle.  We’ll move on to something different tomorrow.

Today’s ONE THING: Make it your goal in life to consistently spend more and more of your life on less and less – the things that really, really matter; the 5% things that only you can do.
