The unfortunate reality of this truth is that most of us will never get to that level of wealth. But that doesn't stop us all from trying, nor should it. It's the American Dream to get well paid for the work we slave over, to live large like the lavish celebrities we are subjected to watching on television.

Thus, the only way that most of us have any means to make that happen is to multitask our lives into a state of constant juggling, hoping that if somehow we can catch a break somewhere--- it will be our ticket to the high life. It seems like we follow the faint hope that the two rabbits will accidentally run into each other and we can catch them both.

So, is it worth it to get "infected" with the New Rabbititus? Well, despite your odds being low at any stellar success, it's not impossible. Hard work and multitasking are like gambling--- someone eventually has to win at it, but there's no guarantee that it will be you, no matter how you play the game.

I believe the important lesson we should take from the proverb in our multitasking lifestyles is not just to chase one rabbit until we catch it--- but after we do, we cannot stop to catch our breath. You must keep running to catch the other one before it gets too far away. Hard work is nothing with the organization to focus it on one definitive goal at a time.

So stop chasing everything in life all at once. Take a deep breath and catch that which is most important first. This will help you immensely... unless of course, you start to see red and yellow spots twirling in the air. Then maybe you might want to think about taking a day off.
