The key to my happiness
is managing expectations,
being honest and forthright, not hiding my true self.
I let people know the worst case scenario,
That is what people want to hear
because that is the time we are living in -
"The worst recession since the Great Depression"
is what it said in the newspaper the other day.
When people know the 88 things that can go wrong
then it is easier to make it right.
If they expect difficulty
then I become a hero when I make it easy.
People like limits. They like to know the range of what may happen.
So I under-promise and over-deliver
and that leads to my health and happiness.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
