#Vibrancy

The distinct outcome in the difference between the habits we nurture or don’t nurture – the contrast between surviving the daily grind or thriving in spite of it.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Will we spend a lifetime holding back because we are afraid to go first?

Tell the truth painting
The truth can set us free. It can also hurt us. We must decide.

 

Just had a moment…

Skimming through some LinkedIn updates it occurs to me that we may be habitually dwelling on quotes and idealistic stories from great companies, as well as the latest research studies on high performing teams.

And then instead of using this to initiate healthy change in ourselves, we use it as another unhealthy brick added to the wall that holds us back for “being the change we wish to see”.

Instead, we find one more piece of evidence against our dysfunctional leadership team. One more reason to laser focus on the change that’s not happening with someone else.

Will we spend a lifetime holding back because we are afraid to go first?

And will we never notice the daily missed opportunities?

Are habits and goals related?

We could argue yes, habits are crucial for vibrant goal setting and attainment.

We could also make a case for habits not being crucial to goal setting and attainment.

What’s hidden in here is the reality that we see what we want to see. Habitually.

It’s a habit either way

It’s a habit either way, so why not pick the better one?

The desk attendants at the Gym have an insidiously less desirable habit than the one that’s a no-brainer.

As you walk in or walk out, the delivery of, “Have a great workout” and “Have a great day” is missing something important.

Timing.

When they delay two seconds the customer walks past and now has their back turned. The only way the customer can genuinely acknowledge the kind words is to turn around.

Solution? Yes. Make it a habit to do the same thing, just three seconds sooner, as you’re facing each other.

Every organization has a culture.

Either by design or by default.
