At any given period of your life you have several batons in your hands as you take on life’s races. You have relationship batons, career baton, education baton, spiritual development baton, and a host of other batons you may have at the moment.
Sometimes, it may be tricky knowing if you are holding
the right or wrong baton in each of these areas of your life. Interestingly,
you may have the right relationship baton and at the same time carry a sorely
wrong career baton. In addition, while some wrong batons, say choice of car,
may be easily overlooked and lived with, there are some others, like the faith
baton, that affects every area of your life.
I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that
you may not realize fast the wrong baton in your hand but the good news is that
the guiding rules identifying wrong batons are easily discernible. You know you
have the wrong baton if:
1. You must strive or cheat to get it
2. It does not fit your talents, natural gifts and
abilities
3. You cannot make comfortable progress with it
4. You did not choose it
5. The best you get out of it is to impress some people
6. You consistently struggle to provide finances for it
7. People see you as a misfit in it
8. You do not know its purpose
9. You have no experience with anything related with it

The underlying principle behind identifying a wrong baton from a right one is your personal peculiarity. This covers your experiences, talents and natural abilities, and environment. What then to do with the wrong baton in your hand may be the next question in your mind? I will respond to this in my next article: “Doing the Best with the Wrong Baton.”
