I’ve always been a multi-tasker, diving my hands into
everything I could. Regardless if it was a hobby or career, I had many and I
heard the ‘Jack of all trades’ phrase pretty much all my life. I just thought
people were calling me a flake or were saying I wasn’t really focused, which
they probably were right but that wasn’t their point. Was this phrase created because
it’s damn cleaver? Or did a master tell this to his apprentice to keep him
focused? Does it really matter? I don’t know. I just know it doesn’t include
me. I’m the happiest when I have many things going on in all directions. But
was anyone else like this? There had to be, I may be unique but I’m no Gonzo. After
reading about my idol Ben Franklin, who was a printmaker apprentice then an
inventor, politician, created the first library and pretty much had his hands
everywhere, especially on attractive women and Da Vinci who was an alchemist,
engineer, artist and had his hands everywhere, especially on attractive men, I
thought ha, I knew it, you can do it all. 
I’m dropping the guilt of this phrase by sticking with my
trusty gut. I’m gonna do my do it alls to thrive and become a master of
nothing, a master of things with no importance to anyone….but myself. Now what
are you going to master?
