Zero expectations, mind

black background with gold text about expectations
Expectations gap and challenges.

Examining and reflecting on myself, i ask…

What mental expectations are needed?

What mental expectations are nice to have?

What mental expectations are unnecessary?

What mental expectations are harmful?

Thoughts control habits.

Habits control results.

Therefore thoughts control my mental results.

And what happens to my habits and results if i reduce or eliminate unnecessary and harmful mental expectations?

Note: The graphics in today’s posts…no memory where they came from.

How to not build a reputation

No one builds a reputation on what they’re ‘going to do’.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Waiting and doing nothing are twin siblings for self-destruction.

2 Communication timing basics

Timing influences communication. 

Talk about potential mistakes before they happen and people start looking for ways to prevent them. 

Talk about actual mistakes after they happen and people start looking for reasons to defend their actions. 

What do you and i need to be talking about now/next week, so we can learn the lessons before we need them?

The closer to death, mind

A critical slide in my signature Disney Customer Service Keynote. The slide summarizes the content below.

The closer to you get to death, the less you give a hoot what others think about the way you think and what you think about.

Why?

You finally realize you cannot control others’ thinking. Plus, most of us don’t know what others truly think — another late in life revelation.

Review: We live our life the way we want. None of us is gonna change who we are. (yes, exceptions exist)

To be clear, we probably have a few exceptional people we would actually change for.

So why stop caring what others think?

Because you’ll be dead soon and none of it will matter.

When you think

When i think, it feels like play.

Mental vibrancy is getting to this point and then finding a million ways to stay in this zone.
