Better to set and fail than not set and fail

“Setting challenges is part of me, it’s part of my DNA,” Dave McGillivray says. “I can be okay with missing my goals. To me that’s not a failure. But not setting goals, that does seem like more of a failure.”

Full Runner’s World article here.

The article is about a 64-year old guy who’s recently had triple bypass heart surgery.

Reread his quote three sentences above.

Then think about your own life.

And ask yourself a simple question, “What are my important goals?”

Regardless of your answer, your answer should serve you well.

Be your own personal consultant

Disney Operations leaders
Jungle Jeff at the world-famous Jungle Cruise last night. This time of year it’s creatively renamed The Jingle Cruise.

Be your own personal consultant:

  • Identify performance gaps
  • Establish business case for bridging the gaps
  • Identify incremental outcomes from DIY or hiring outside
  • Establish business case for hiring help

The goal is to outsource your weaknesses and inefficiencies to experts and or purchase software to eliminate redundant and lower cost tasks.

You’re a good person is the good news (it’s also the bad news)

blockchain TED talk
Blockchain TED talk, worth the 18 minutes it took to watch last night. The link is at the end of this post, don’t click the photo.
blockchain TED talk
Blockchain TED talk…so worth it. Easiest-to-understand explanation i’ve heard so far.

The good news is you’re a good person.

Wait, there’s some bad news too.

The bad news is you’re a good person.

Good is the enemy of great.

Great gets us closer to thriving – personal vibrancy.

Good gets us closer to mediocrity – personal surviving.

Learn, unlearn, relearn.

This is great.

Watch the Blockchain TED talk here.

The invisible gap between all accomplishment

sleep app
Last night the goal was 8 hours, like it is every night.

 

 

wisdom
How true is this?

 

 

The invisible gap between all accomplishment.

i see it in my own life, professionally and personally.

You see it in yours too.

What?

Ok, you’re right, you can’t see it.

Sorry.

My bad.

It’s simply this…

The gap is the difference between what we are willing to do to get the things we say we want.

If you aren’t willing, it ain’t ever gonna happen.

Do the math.

Go forward, determined and enthusiastic.

Or turn around and go home, turn on your device of choice, and medicate your wounds.

The other option is to lower the bar for your life’s dreams.

It’s a simple concept.

Not easy.

But certainly simple.

i wish you amazing success wherever you set your bar.
