Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio
If You Focus Intently You Will Succeed
‘…I focus on this one thing…’ Philippians 3:13 NLT
Today’s Insight
Professor Howard Hendricks mentored hundreds of
pastors and leaders. He writes: ‘As a young leader, my biggest mistake was
allowing my time to be eaten up with things outside my core competencies. I
wanted to set the pace for others, to demonstrate that nothing was beneath me,
so I devoted an inordinate amount of time to things I wasn’t good at – things
I’d never be good at. At the same time I invested little energy into developing
my strengths… Finally I realized that my true value lay within the context of
my giftedness – not the number of hours I worked.
There were some balls I’d no business juggling.
When I finally got the courage to let them fall to the floor, I began to excel
in juggling the two or three balls I was created to keep in the air in the first
place. And the amazing thing is, people came along and picked up the other
balls. What I couldn’t relinquish were the opportunities they’d been waiting
for.’
Answer this: of the two
or three things that define success for you, which of them are in line with
your core competencies? That is where you must focus your energies. That is
where you’ll excel. Within that narrowed context you will make your greatest
contribution. And best of all, you will enjoy what you do!
You say, ‘But I can’t
afford to focus all my energies on one or two things.’ Maybe not yet, but that
should be your goal. It’s something you should be working towards if you want
to succeed where it matters most.
