One of the easiest ways to reduce stress

early morning work
A two-year-old smile-worthy FaceBook “memory” hit my feed yesterday.

 

One of the easiest ways to reduce stress is to lower our standards.

This is a short-term solution.

Very effective.

At some future point (a month, years, or decades even) the temporarily relieved stress can come back with a vengeance in the form of regret.

Life is hard.

Because life is hard, study, learn, apply, teach, and excel at a positive attitude.

At various times in life, setting the bar low could develop into an insidious lifetime habit.

Setting your bar low might seem reasonable, appropriate, and motivating.

Long-term, it’s anything but.

The value of enterprise and the secret to success

Middle School graduation playbill
This only happens once for each person.

 

Last night was a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

What advice can we offer an 8th-grader?

We need something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for.

Make the assumption these three are lifelong goals.

Suggestion:

Over-manage the same things others under-manage or ignore. Focus and discipline only fail when they are under-managed or ignored.
