Zero expectations, mind

black background with gold text about expectations
Expectations gap and challenges.

Examining and reflecting on myself, i ask…

What mental expectations are needed?

What mental expectations are nice to have?

What mental expectations are unnecessary?

What mental expectations are harmful?

Thoughts control habits.

Habits control results.

Therefore thoughts control my mental results.

And what happens to my habits and results if i reduce or eliminate unnecessary and harmful mental expectations?

What could go right

crayon sketch
First draft of my business card logo, 2008.

i plan for the worst and hope for the best.

However, this is how most start, “What could go wrong?”

Human nature. No doubt. That’s where i used to start, and, stop too.

Now my human nature is also ask, “What could go right?”

Keep thinking

Keep on keeping’ on…

Keep thinking.

Keep moving.

Keep feeling.

Keep contributing.

Keep prioritizing.

Easy to see the pattern above:

  1. Mind
  2. Body
  3. Spirit
  4. Work
  5. Home

Do what makes sense, not what is easy.

Easy makes sense short-term.

Focus and discipline makes sense long-term.

Play the long game.

Die with everything, mind

Die With Zero is a book i heard about yesterday.

In summary it promotes spending your money for experiences, not to tirelessly save your money to accumulate wealth.

Actually, i tirelessly pursue ‘everything’.

Mentally dying with everything, to me, is to die with everything a growth-mindset offers: optimism, possibility, potential.
