What to do when you’re sick of losing.
All in Self-Effectiveness
I use a pencil and paper to plan my life.
Become a more effective you with a tool that enables you to make actual change.
The language we use matters!
Use words that create accountability.
You don't have to play the game the way it's always played.
Write new rules!
The long game and limitations.
Don’t let the temporary limitations of today change your focus for tomorrow!
Why doesn't your job work for you?
Isn’t it about high time that it does?
Do you need to talk to everybody in the room?
You could, but it might not help.
If you're trying to spread an idea, consider the coronavirus.
Perhaps this topic is too soon, but hear me out.
Where's the carrot?
If you want people to engage with you, dangle the carrot. Make it easy.
New Year, New Me.
You are in a war. A war between the "you" with beliefs and dreams of a better world, and the "you" that wants you to hold back, is afraid of shame, doesn't feel they're good enough - the "resistant you."
Come Alive.
There are others like you, scared to take the leap. They share your concerns. I know, I've helped many. You're not alone.
On Resolutions
Resolutions for the new year are bets on a future us. We're making a decision based on a "future version of ourselves" that we want to see. If you plan to improve your life, I am all for it - do it!
How Were Your Holidays?
Step into 2020 with a renewed sense of your purpose.
Step knowing that the right expectation is the one you hold for yourself.
The Art of Decisions
The Decision Series has come to an end, for now ;-)
If you found these insights useful to you, please share this blog with others. We need to build a tribe of people who are self-motivated to improve their lives, to create better art, and never to allow "good enough" to be okay.
The Dangers of Hindsight
Realize, in life, the odds are not in your favor. You will lose so much more than you'll win. Like gambling, the house will always win - the house is "life."
Start with Failure.
If you have doubts, leverage them - consider what would happen if your efforts failed.
Contracts with Yourself.
Make a Ulysses Pact with yourself to help with decisions. Sometimes deciding in advance makes all the difference.
See Balance.
Seeing only the long game doesn't help, but seeing only the short can be ruinous.
How powerful is regret to you? Is it so powerful that you'd instead consider that feeling before you've done something that might make that feeling real for you?
Reflect on the past and project your learnings into the future. You'll see the path ahead of you now - in the present, with more detail and clarity.
