“She’s like a dog with a bone.”

Anybody ever said that about you?

It means you have something you’re ferocious about.

Whether it’s a temporary obsession or one for your lifetime, you’re eager to get that thing done.

Some people say it as an insult. I take that phrase as a compliment. And I mean it as a compliment when I say it about somebody else.

Because it means you have something that’s important. Probably a cause that’s bigger than you.

Over our lifetimes, most of us have four or five things that we are ferocious about. And that’s okay. Because we can’t focus on everything. We pick a few things and concentrate our energy on those things.

Your things will be different from mine. I can’t dictate to you what’s going to be important in your life.

But find a couple of things that are your dog with a bone priorities. Remember them every day, and try to make your life move a little bit every day to bringing those things to pass.
