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.

From Seth's blog:

Some of the factors to consider:

• Do they pay other people who do this work? Do their competitors?
• Am I learning enough from this interaction to call this part of my education?
• Is this public work with my name on it, or am I just saving them cash to do a job they should pay for?
• If I get paid, is it more likely the organization will pay closer attention, promote it better and treat it more seriously?
• Do I care about their mission? Can they afford to do this professionally?
• Will I get noticed by the right people, people who will help me spread the word to the point where I can get hired to do this professionally?
• What's the risk to me, my internal monologue and my reputation if I do this work?

Keep running!

Right place at the right time is lucky. Nothing worked because of you. You need to be constantly adding, chasing, running, improving, creating and contributing. Unless you add value, you aren't worthy.

• What are you contributing to your work, your family and to your self?
