Will your life reflect your past or your future?

Grinnell Glacier Overlook is empty at 7:15am except for the photographer (me) and this guy (my college buddy Howard). Taken Summer 2017. Howard says he wants to come back this Summer.

Will your life reflect your past or your future?

Do you invest in things that you think won’t change yet always do?

Like what?

Things like your health, finances, world economic conditions, a steady job, and on and on.

You either run your habits or they run you

Walt Disney death announcement
Smoking is so addictive. Addiction is a habit that is hard to change. Is being disorganized an addiction? i have no idea. i do think, however, that we can be addicted to things that make being organized impossible.

Being able to do something well with relative ease is great when you do it.

If you know how to do something but struggle, for whatever reason, to do it consistently without being reminded, then you have an opportunity to develop more effective and efficient personal structure and processes for getting those things done.

Habits and rituals.

Personal responsibility.

Initiative.

Whether it’s the daily doing of your work, doing home chores, staying well physically and spiritually, or simply managing your home environment, the results you reap stem from the structure and processes you implement.

Back to, you guessed it, habits and rituals.

Reacting when reminded, or, initiating action without having to be reminded.

Both approaches are the result of habits and rituals.

Our acts can be no wiser than our thoughts

Moon set behind us. Who looks back when the sunrise is so stunning? Almost no one.

Context. Almost dead center, you can see the moon setting.

Sanibel sunrise
Context.

Sanibel sunrise
Even more context.

 Look closely just left of the sun, two humans and a dog.

Same photo as yesterday.

Our acts can be no wiser than our thoughts.

Think about that.

Make controlling your thoughts a habit and you make controlling your actions a habit.

Profound.

The ball is always in our court.

More action, doing better things, more often.

Having or not having consistency equals what?

Breathe magazine
Yesterday at the Publix (grocery) checkout aisle. What if we subscribed to the lifetime of happiness special?

 

Mental habits and rituals.

They make or break us.

Having consistently positive energy, thoughts, and outlooks is essential to a lifetime of seeing the good side – the opportunity – in every situation.

Not having consistent energy, thoughts, and outlooks is like being given a prison sentence – with hard, unwanted labor – in every situation.

Habits.

Rituals.

You own these.

You can enhance them and excel at them.

And if you choose not to, you will live in a hell you don’t deserve.

What happens if our habits change?

Home office
Change is not easy for most. Like walking away from the 6th most admired company in the world to start your own thing (entrepreneurship has statistically high odds of failing). Converted a spare bedroom into a Disney Keynote Speaker office (above).

 

Hold on, here comes an important question…

What happens if our habits change?

What?

Yeah, didn’t see that one coming.

Are you satisfied with your quality of life right now?

Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

The basics…

Great habits serve us and others.

Poor habits, obviously, have the opposite effect and serve no one.

Want to maintain and accentuate your current energy and outcomes in your life?

Want different energy and outcomes in your life?

It’s simple.

All we have to do to generate better results is to change our habits.

No brainer right?
