Doing meaningful work changes our expectations about what is normal or fair

Easter Sunday 2014 (April 20)

 

This Easter morning final preparations for an eight day tip to Disneyland.

Working while others play is a way of life for many.

Some go their entire career never having weekends as predictable days off.

Doing meaningful work changes our expectations about what is normal or fair.

More than anything, getting to do what you love is more than fair.

How did yesterday feel?

How did yesterday go?

Better than expected?

About what we expected?

Worse than expected?

Massive weather delays across the eastern states. Delayed four hours.

One approach is to expect things to be bumpy everyday.

It’s life, after all.

Yesterday went much better than expected because nothing threw me off.

Expecting worst case scenario manages expectations in stormy weather.

Embrace our critics

We are not what we own (we know this but mass-media disagrees)

 

Embrace our critics? Sure. But mostly ignore them.

No, seriously. For real.

Their voice is not our voice. Trust our voice, the one equipped with our instinct.

And focus on spending our time and energy where our joy and support comes from.

Within.

Not the loud, confusing, unfocused, uncaring chatter that clutters the space we occupy.

Practice tuning out and tuning in.

And get really, really good at it.

And be prepared for unexpected progress.

No, seriously. For real.
