Regret tells the truth. Change tells the story.

In hindsight, patience

Alarm clock digital
Sleep deprivation insidiously and negatively impacts our rational thinking.

Getting negativity caught off guard or being predictably put into an un-optimal situation attracts tension, anxiety, and impatience.

Note to self, impatience solves nothing.

.do .differently

Disney Service speaker in mountains
STOP PRE is a battle cry Steve Prefontaine’s competitors made to intimidate him. Never worked. Steve was a rebel, who also happened to be a runner.

Creativity is worthless without action that changes something.

Same principle, thinking differently is worthless without action.

Business as usual is business in decline.

The antidote for decline?

Radical action.

Doesn’t have to be complicated.

In fact, it should not be complicated.

The antidote?

.do .differently

Life works thanks to habits

Walt Disney picking up trash
i have always taught outsiders that Cast members have one of two career habits: consistently pick up trash or consistently walk past it. Both habits are career-long habits.

Habits are primal.

Evolution invented habits to increase survival odds.

Behaviors that kept us alive got repeated.

Behaviors that fed us got repeated.

Behaviors that enabled reproduction got repeated.

How do your habits form now?
