Doing the right thing is not emphasized

Disney Speaker jeff noel home office
Photo taken yesterday before heading to Baltimore.

Doing the right thing is not emphasized in the media, nor in our human circles, and not in our habits.

Why?

Because people have discovered that it takes too long to develop better habits and that the payoff is not quick enough for our weak human condition.

So we cave to conformity and the status quo.

Our spirit is willing but our body is weak.

Hey, if everyone is doing it…

Insidiously deadly.

Personal vibrancy never stands a chance.

Unless, or until…

Focus and discipline are the only tools to conquer mediocre habits and rituals.

Denying (or ignoring) this doesn’t make it untrue.

You are what you read

spare change Orlando
As we walked through Orlando yesterday morning.
don't give spare change initiative
The thought process to create this idea and implement it is extraordinary. The creators are, in my opinion, applying economic sanctions in a last ditch effort to change behavior. People follow the money. Lead them to designated places where assistance can be concentrated and delivered.

You are what you read, and, what you watch and listen to.

Similar to “you are what you eat”, garbage in, garbage out.

Similar to karma, you attract what you put out, “your thoughts are directed by your mental consumption” – what you consume visually and audibly hardwires your thoughts, also known as your attitude.

How many days does it take to start a new habit?

How many days does it take to start a new habit?

Depends on who you listen to, and generally, 21 days is used as a decent estimate. Three weeks.

So after three years, what can you expect?

Transformation?

How can you not?

Well, here we are, January 20.

Autopilot strengthens mental habits and rituals

family dysfunction
Yesterday, this took my breath away for a moment.

You can’t solve your culture problem tomorrow when you are on autopilot; repeating what you did yesterday.

Talking about personal culture right now, as CEO of You, Inc.

Your attitude in particular, here at Mid Life Celebration, the “Mind” blog.

Indirectly, i’m thinking about a couple executives i coach – they are actually the CEO of their respective companies. They all want their organizational culture to be significantly more vibrant than it is now.

But.

Autopilot.

Gets.

In.

The.

Way.

The worst thing about thinking this way

excuses, habits, rituals
Wellness excuses, habits, rituals. This immediately triggered a business application.

The challenge with permitting your existing culture today is that it makes you more likely to permit it tomorrow.

The challenge with not taking action today is that it makes you less likely to take action tomorrow.

The challenge with not doing what you can do today, is that it also makes you less likely to not do what you can tomorrow.
