one thing: positives

I'm going to continue the (mostly mental) analysis I've been doing but I am becoming aware that an answer is beginning to well up in my heart.  So...I will spend a few more days in my introspection but then I'll turn it over to my heart and let it give me the answer in its own time.

So, I've outlined my negatives of focusing on only one thing.  Most of them looked like fears to me, and I'm betting that most of those fears are unfounded.  But it was nice to let them out.

Now for the positives of focusing on one project at a time:

• all my creative energy gets channeled into one area...this should result in higher returns
• it frees me up to "work when I'm working, relax when I'm relaxing."  I don't always have to feel like "I should be doing something else"
  
• more time on that activity means more improvement of my talent level
• more likely to find my "voice."  You can get good at something but to find your unique voice takes a commitment beyond just "working at it"
• I feel less confused about what I should be doing
• I feel less "scattered."  Five years ago this wouldn't have meant anything because I could work on lots of different things without feeling any problems.  But life changes, and now I feel that there is too much going on.
  

These positives are pretty powerful.  I especially like the part about finding my "voice" in whatever it is I'm doing.
