Where you set the bar is always an obligation

Daylight when i arrived yesterday and dark when i left.

 

Most people don’t aim for a great life because they settle for a very good life or even an ok (average?) life.

Remember, there is no harm and no foul with where you set your life’s bar.

What is critical for happiness – and most people ignore this – is that you can’t wish for more or better and leave the bar set where you set it.

Also, a high bar doesn’t automatically equate to happiness either.

If the habits and rituals you carry aren’t serving you – no matter where your bar is set – how will you respond long-term?

Why we are unhappy TED Talk video.

Managing our big three expectations is the key to managing our happiness and unhappiness.

The video is brilliantly, and in my opinion, irrefutably presented.

Enjoy…

Here’s to our best Summer ever.

T-minus 10 days to the first of several Summer Glacier National Park trips.

The first trip is 11 days, with an 8-day bicycle rental.

Why?

Increases odds of a few sunny, warm days while there.

Having bikes for 8 days ensures a few great riding days, even if it rains for days.

Pack light so you can carry more

Sanibel Island Beach in winter
We packed light. No chairs, no towels, no blankets. But time to burn…so i laid flat on my back by the edge of the sea while Cheryl combed the water’s edge for sea shells.

Fifteen minutes later, it was time to head to breakfast.

i knew this would happen (sand stuck where contact was made).

It’s quite liberating to not worry about “creating a mess”.

 

Super Bowl 52 score
“I’m going to Disney World”. Last night was a first for the city of Philadelphia.

 

Pack light so you can carry more.

Much was accomplished yesterday, Super Bowl (52) Sunday.

Days like yesterday remind me that doing nothing and taking life as it comes isn’t just something for younger adults still living at home.

Because we’ve always done it that way

The thesis.

 

Because we’ve always done it that way.

Don’t take a risk to change things.

It probably won’t work.

And so it goes.

If you say you love and admire excellence then…

Truth and health
Same with blind spots. They cause “inflammation”.

 

If you say you love and admire excellence then…

Prove it.

And prove it without having your boss resort to efforts that make the boss uncomfortable.

Please.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
