The one thing

The one thing you need to know is that there is no one thing.

I saw a book in Barnes and Nobles yesterday entitled, “The One Thing.” It proceeded to state that there is only one thing you need to do to be successful.

That couldn’t be further from the truth. There isn’t one thing. There are hundreds of things. Hundreds of things are necessary if you will live a life of success (success being defined as balanced, honorable and pleasing to God.)

If there was only one thing, that would have been the only book in the bookstore.

One thing is the easy way out. The cop out. The quick fix.

But then again, trying to sell books that tell people the truth aren’t as popular as the quick fix.
