Chasing too many Rabbits…

Inspired by Zen quote

A monk observed a young boy chasing a group of rabbits and asked his disciple, "How many rabbits do you think this young boy will catch?"

The disciple pondered and replied, "Maybe 2-3 rabbits."

The monk shook his head and said, "None."

Perplexed, the disciple asked, "Master, why do you feel so?"

The monk explained, "The boy is distracted by the sight of too many rabbits, causing him to mentally juggle which one to catch. His lack of focus will hinder his decision-making and slow his speed. Ultimately, he will come back empty-handed."

The disciple nodded in agreement with the master's insight.

The monk continued, "In life, many people are like this young boy, chasing multiple dreams without ever settling on one. Some embark on numerous projects simultaneously, only to abandon them halfway through, feeling unfulfilled. Unless we cultivate the skill of concentrating on a single goal and make it a habit, we will perpetually lead unfulfilled lives."

He concluded, "Focus is the key to success and should be pursued with unwavering determination."
