Happy winter 2024, mind

Winter began yesterday. Let’s think about how we traditionally spend our winters…

Ever think of yourself as a script writer?

If yes, why?

If no, why?

Let’s assume a few things:

  1. Scripts are intentionally written
  2. Scripts are followed for best results with the writer’s vision
  3. Working without a script is improvisation
  4. Working without a script is working without a vision

We become what we think about.

Intentionally or unintentionally.

Can you imagine the difference between the two approaches?

Why does this matter, mind

Why does a growth mindset this matter?

Why did i spend my life fanatically developing it?

Why do i continue to spend my life fanatically protecting it?

Obvious answer: Doing the important reps facilitates the important results.

The need to grow, mind

Growth mindset implores you to prioritize your priorities. Our priorities after safety? Service. Service to God, Family, self. Then finally, simplicity.

The need to grow is an important concept. It’s a simple concept too.

Stumbled upon a poster while a college Junior featuring a Bob Dylan quote. It’s timely for this post:

He who is not busy being born is busy dying.

Perhaps my biggest mental growth is honing my focus and discipline to be able to steer my thoughts to stay in the present moment.

Favorite thought? Mind

Bottom of this photo you can see yesterday’s blog title “Haves and wants”. Every other day above that line is pre-loaded with blog post title ideas. And what you see below is what an admin dashboard looks like normally. Actually what is below is not normal. Most don’t plan to blog daily, so they also don’t plan to pre-schedule the admin parts of their unwritten posts.

Pictured here is Lane 8’s admin screen. You can see at the bottom of this photo, yesterday’s post “Haves and wants”. But i have not yet loaded the post title(s) from Mid Life Celebration for today or any other day.

Favorite thought?

Wow, that’s a challenging question.

This thought came almost instantly, after a brief moment of ‘this will be impossible’…

The only limitations i have are those i impose upon myself.

Note: Penned that thought in 1980 while journaling during a week-long Outward Bound outdoor experiential course.

Simple mental habits

The growth mindset daily habit of noticing.

The easier a mental habit is to do, the more likely it will last a lifetime. Good habits and not-so-good habits. Obviously, pick the best habits. Minimum effort, maximum results.

Massively productive mental habit is discerning good from not-so-good.
