This being the case, many of us spend a good deal of our lives embracing the erroneous belief that if we can just develop the skills necessary to spin more plates better and faster, then we will be able to spin all the plates screaming for our time and attention. That approach to life might look like this.
But is this realistic? Not for most of us. Very few of us attain a Chinese acrobat type of mastery over all the plates in our lives.
The reality is that many of us live life like this next plate spinner—my personal favorite because I identify with him the most. This guy honestly believes that not only is he able to spin all the plates of life that are screaming for his limited time and attention, but he also lives under the delusion that he’s really good at it too!
The question is NOT: How can you learn to spin all the plates in your life that are screaming for your time and attention? That’s the wrong question and if you ask the wrong questions you will always get the wrong answers, and life’s too short for that.
The better question is: How can you figure out what plates in life are worth spinning… and what plates you should stop spinning and dare to let fall to the ground? That’s a toughie. But again, life’s too short to NOT figure out what plates are worth spinning and what plates aren’t. Think about it. How pitiful will it be to get to the end the journey only to realize that we wasted a good portion of life spinning the wrong plates?
