If you really want to kick big goals, you can't move in more than one direction. Chase two rabbits, catch none.

The Impact:

🎯 Focus compounds effort

🫆 Clear Identity stabilises behaviour

🦉 Dilution kills mastery

You must sacrifice all other potential dreams, for one clear direction.

I spent years chasing multiple futures at once because I thought that was what ambitious people did. It felt intelligent, it felt open minded, and it felt like I was keeping my options alive. What I was really doing was resetting my progress every few months. Nothing was getting the time, depth, and repetition it needed to become real. Reading Essentialism and The One Thing did not just give me new ideas, they forced me to admit something uncomfortable, I was confusing movement with progress.

Once I committed to one primary direction, everything changed in a way I did not expect. My days became simpler, my decisions became quieter, and my output became steadier. I stopped negotiating with myself every morning about who I was supposed to be, and I started behaving like someone who already knew. The work did not suddenly become easy, but it became clean, and that cleanliness is what finally allowed momentum to build.
