Everyday is a great day for a great day. Know it’s coming. See it coming. Lean into it. Be an example.

Set no low bar

Disney characters on the bookshelf
Cheryl surprised me, placing this on our office bookshelf without saying anything.

Disney taught me to set no low bar. Only the highest bar is acceptable.

dad

High standards create high results.

You notice this when you work with an outlier like Disney. The bar we (Disney) set for ourselves is beyond what most people tolerate.

The highest standards apply not just to the quality of work we produce but the opportunities we work on. If we accept average work from ourselves, we only get average work from ourselves (and our teams). If we say yes to average projects, we’ll have no time for excellent projects.

Raise your bar to raise your results.

Obviously this is a work example. Intentionally started with work to paint an easily understood analogy. The analogy is your personal life, and on this post i’m focused on our (highest) bar for mental growth-mindset, positivity, and optimism.

Mental regret

group photo in the mountains
We don’t need no stinkin’ regret.

Regret sucks. Regret is for amateurs.

dad

Regret is for amateurs. We all have focus. Whether it’s a growth mindset focus or a closed mindset focus, it’s always our call. Don’t regret making a lifetime of low bar calls, celebrate your high-bar mindset.
