He who grasps at too much loses everything.
I cannot deny that I loved every class where there was diversity, but we reached a point where we had to study and prepare for many trades at the same time, and I came to the conclusion that you cannot be good at everything. so when it came to industrial mechanics or carpentry, I pushed myself to pass the subject, but in the end, many activities without specialisation worked against me. I knew many things and at the same time was not specialised in anything, which left a bad taste in my mouth.
The same thing happens with goals. Sometimes we want to do many activities or businesses at the same time, and we fill ourselves with activism to the point that stress and oversaturation begin to be our inseparable companions every day. But at the end of the day, multitasking takes a toll on our health, and sometimes not focusing on one thing at a time ultimately leads to failure, as we are not designed to do so many activities at the same time.
This is when we become overwhelmed by so much activism. We must choose minimalism in our thoughts and goals and focus on one goal at a time. This leads us to put all our energy into that task, and we can achieve better results than when we try to do so many things at once.
I remember a speaker who said that human beings are not designed to multitask because, even if we manage to do so, the body becomes oversaturated, and then so much saturation brings on illnesses as the body's response to defend itself and ask us to stop our activism.
This week I was thinking about this and I had to think about the saying that if you take on too much, you achieve too little, so I had to think about what I should do without becoming oversaturated as in the past.
Remove thoughts, many goals at the same time that cause high expectations but then come failure and non-fulfilment of those goals. A well-known example is what many people do in December, where some make books of dreams and almost unattainable goals, After setting many goals at the same time, most people get tired and stressed, and despair begins to take its toll, bringing unhappiness, feelings of defeat, guilt, and stagnation.
Therefore, it is necessary to rethink the way we are acting and make the necessary changes to obtain better results by focusing on one goal at a time. In this way, we can effectively achieve what we set out to do.
Minimalism is a lifestyle that encompasses all aspects of our lives, bringing us peace and purpose and preventing the destabilisation of the mind and body. This helps us to live better, to live a peaceful life without upsets, which brings tranquillity and the assurance that we do not need many extra things, but rather to focus on what really matters.
Well, that's this week's reflection. I hope you've read to the end. See you next time. Until then.
