Love the comments! Thanks for sharing! These really help me. I try to live in the moment and do the best I can. I try to prioritize but have also had to learn to accept that I cannot do everything well.

Thank you so much for your comments! I have found it liberating to stop trying to find one thing to be successful in and instead work at excellence in what I am doing and the roles I have. I love variety, change, and challenge too. If you want a very validating book, check out “Refuse to Choose” by Barbara Sher. I just heard John C. Maxwell say, “You have to give up to go up.” There are trade offs to moving up and moving on. Sometimes quitting (although it might look like defeat or instability) is actually a symptom of growth.

I love this. I didn’t realize it, but it is me. I like variety and not to make each day the same. If they are the same, I am miserable. I like to take an hour or two to play the piano when I am in the mood and then go to the Joseph Smith Memorial and talk to people about the church. Then do something else. I sandwich in house keeping in there somewhere. I would like that part to not be there. But I can stand it if I do different things at different times. I think the reason I don’t like housekeeping too much is that it doesn’t seem important enough for me to spend much time and energy thinking about it. I want to do things that are helping people or improving the community so much more. Anyway, I like the way you think so deeply about a subject and the way you write about it. I love you.

This is What I have been Looking for. Thanks so much! It is ok to be a jack of all trades. I think I will embrace that part of me instead of always fighting it off. It has become my new goal. To become a better Jack of all Trades, and like it. Thanks again.
