The dichotomy of chasing multiple goals.
In “Harry Potter and the deathly hallows”, there is a point where Harry has to take a decision. Should he continue his search for horcruxes, which is going nowhere actually; or should he change course and try to stop Voldemort from getting the hallows.
Luckily for us, and the muggles, that Harry chose to continue on his goal.
In the moment, a pivot is very enticing. Continuing on our path seems like the most torturous choice.
But pivoting too soon is how most of our pursuits end in failure.
We pivot during the dip, the long haul, expecting that the pivot will help us reach the goal without the struggle.
Just like an undivided soul, an undivided goal is a precious thing.
Identify the one thing that you are working towards. Make it a priority.
Everything else should become optional until you reach there.
