Quote by Charles A. Garfield

Can you have more than one major MISSION pervading your life? NO. That would be like coming to a fork in the road and trying to go both ways by straddling it.

Can you have more than one major MISSION pervading your life

Summary

This quote suggests that it is not possible to have multiple major missions in life. It compares having multiple missions to trying to go in two different directions at a fork in the road, which is seen as an ineffective approach. It implies that having a singular, focused mission is more productive and successful than trying to pursue multiple conflicting goals simultaneously. The quote encourages individuals to choose a clear direction and stay committed to it for optimal results.
