7 Reasons why failure and excellence don’t like each other

Disney Keynote Speakers
Imagine Disney being Disney without a fanatical approach to excellence.

 

Reasons why failure and excellence don’t like each other:

  1. Excellence is a habit
  2. It’s challenging to do the right thing (habits) all the time
  3. You have to do the right thing all the time
  4. Excellence can’t be sustained without 100% commitment
  5. 100% commitment is challenging in a stressful, busy world
  6. Excellence shuns excuses
  7. Humans like excuses because the person making one believes it’s legit

Remember, very good and excellent aren’t the same things, just as good and very good aren’t the same things.

And the difference between good and excellent is staggering.

My mindset determines my goal, how well i strive for the goal, and how determined i am to always have the highest goals.

Note: One of my high goals is to be a minimalist. High goals are not about status and wealth (although for some they are).

High goals are about living (and dying) with peace and contentment.

Great habits pay and we pay for poor habits

The web we weave becomes an asset or a trap.

 

Great habits pay dividends.

Poor habits are expensive and often feel irreversible.

Try and change a life that’s been shaped by negative thinking, blame, and bad karma.

Try to defeat a life that’s been filled with determination, good karma, and positive thinking.

Old habits are hard to break

First thought was go to store and buy a new one.

 

Old habits are hard to break.

Often, when you have developed great habits, this is a key strength in the fight against mediocrity.

However, there are times when it’s a ball and chain – holding us back from a better way.

The flagpole holder is broken.

Likely culprit is Hurricane Irma.

The flagpole is closer to being parallel with the ground where before we had it set closer to a 45-degree  angle.

Go to the store to buy a replacement.

Stop.

Stop thinking like that.

Use Amazon and Amazon Prime.

The replacement will be here in 48 hours and took five minutes to order.

What drives our limitations?

fear
Fear is a habit. Our limits are a habit because of this.

 

Thoughts.

Decisions.

Actions.

The only limits we have are those we impose upon ourselves.

Our biggest opportunity is here…

Yesterday on the way to Lowes. Texting. Habits.

 

You know how we have a daily routine?

Many of the things we do are positive habits.

Showering, brushing our teeth, getting dressed, showing up for work on time.

Our biggest opportunity is here…

Admitting our poor habits.

Which is painful, so we pretend we don’t have them. Why? Because many of them bring us pleasure, save us time, and entertain or distract us from stress and pressure.

Poor habits are part of our daily routine.

They diminish and poison our good habits.

And we let this happen.

Let that resonate for a moment.

For a lifetime.

What would happen to us if we didn’t?
