Always ON and Why You Should Care
Derek Chew
Building cross-channel strategies with fresher perspectives without the bureaucracy.
I recently wrote about being Always Mentally On.
One thing I learned: You are STRONGER than you think.
You know people who fail to achieve their dreams.
If something shiny comes along - AND IT WILL - they shift their attention and obsession. And then abandon their current focus because it's getting difficult.
The natural choice is to start something new and pat yourself on the back - a false sense of success.
Anyone can run. But to run a 10-mile marathon requires more.
Many may not be Always On - there's just too much distractions, noise, and naysayers out there causing confusion.
Being ON encapsulates everything from family, relationships, business, and passion.
It's a #mindset. It's a #balance.
Get Obsessed: Love what you do and do it with all your being.
Be Present: Train yourself from zoning out.
Be Self Aware: Stop whining about what's missing. If it's that important to you, suck it up and go get/do it.
Focus: Stay the course on things you must do to step closer to your dream. Everything else are distractions.
Say NO: ON is the inverse or NO. When you say NO you are empowering yourself to stay ON.
Is there a method to help you stay ON? No. That's what makes it unique. Whatever works for you. Some prefer checklists while others build a calendar. To each their own.
Don't spend time chasing "ghosts."
Because your ambitions and dreams is always a step closer or further depending on your actions today.
