Monday Blues: A warfare

Every day is a race, a fight, a warfare. Let us face the reality and move on with what is important, what we should focus on and how we can perform well when faced with multiple choices. When we face the reality and focus on what is important, we would be able to negate the chances of reducing the stress. Usually we would be going towards the easy ones which is a wrong thing to do. 

In pursuit of excellence, we should focus on what is important and what is of high priority. In the words of N. Emil Jebasingh, Director of Transworld Radio, India, Lions are playing a havoc on the nation; but we are hunting the rats! Let us focus on the lions.

Monday Blues: Look at ants!

Every once in a while your focus tends to veer away from the main goal and we look towards other things that seem to matter. As soon as we loose focus, we are out of the competition. It is important to regain focus on what is important and prioritize. It is important to get back to the track and chase the goal as if your life depends on it. 

Proverbs 6:6 says, Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!

Nature teaches us in many ways. Look at ants, they teach us to be disciplined, organized and being adamantly focused on a goal. This Monday, stay focused and choose wisely.

Focus on things that matter

Bother about things you can change, improve and make a difference. Lose focus on things that don't matter.

Don't sacrifice trust

Seth makes a point.

Don't bring in emotion to sacrifice your quality values and increase acceptance. Emotion is temporary. Focus on creating value and followers will come on their own. All you need is truth and freedom is the byproduct.

There's no question that people respond to safety and mass acceptance. The #1 seller often stays number one merely because it's already number one. But no, you don't need to add emotion when there is none, because to do so, you often have to sacrifice trust.

Secret to success

Whatever excites you, go do it.
Whatever drains you, stop doing it.

Go off grid and rethink

You need to focus what you want to do and stay focused. Prioritize and then plan ahead. Spend sometime every time to plan and them go for the kill.

Going off grid, reading a book, thinking what you have done this year and what you want to do the next and planning ahead gives you an advantage you never knew!
