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.

Two weeks into a Summer of Disney Business Books writing

Disney Business Books author
Writing two hours every morning helps me think. Thinking helps me do. Doing helps me serve. Serving helps me find peace and contentment. Peace and contentment floods me with joy.

 

 

Two weeks into a Summer of Disney Business Books writing.

You can pretend to care, but you can’t pretend to show up.

The world is not changed by people who sort of care.

Be amazed and be amazing.

It’s yours to take as far as you want.

What’s Disney’s secret sauce?

 

People hire me for one reason, and one reason only.

To reveal Disney’s secret sauce.

What’s Disney’s secret sauce?

It’s simple.

It’s equivalent to Apple’s IOS – an Operating System that allows excellence (aka greatness) to scale, reproduce, and grow.

Think about these statements…

Our attitude affects us.

Our experience affects us.

Our beliefs affect us.

Our codependence affects us.

Our reflection (or lack thereof) affects us.

You may be able to make me smile, laugh or feel good.

But…

No one can make me happy but me.

Will Smith just revealed an operating system who’s DNA centers on a simple concept.

You are the CEO of YOU, Inc.

Go ahead and frolic, with this caveat

inspiration

Disney Keynote Speaker
Frolic, as long as you have done the admirable work to deserve it.

 

To behave admirably is hard work.

Plus there’s the, you know, the…critics.

If you live your life worried about what others will think, you will regret it.

Here’s the important caveat in the notion of not worrying what others think – you must behave admirably in the process.

Another way to say the same thing

complex Interstate road system
Which way do we go?

 

Marathon finish line
Near the end of my walk “home” last night.

 

Another way to say the same thing (three truths and a lie) from yesterday’s posts is this:

Come up with three outrageous accomplishments or experiences that sound unbelievable –  from your life – with one of them being untrue.

  1. i’ve published 17,000+ blog posts.
  2. Yesterday i walked eight miles round trip to work.
  3. i drive an antique car as my primary mode of transportation.

The two truths and a lie are revealed at the next blog.
