What’s your big win for the week?

What’s the worst that could happen?

I was taught to think that any time something goes wrong.

And trust me, things go wrong.

A lot.

Maybe wrong isn’t the right word.

Things don’t go as planned.

Which is where the responsibility resides.

If things don’t go as planned, who is responsible?

Me.

Either I set expectations (wrote a script in my head) and they weren’t met (because no one else knew their lines).

Or I didn’t spend enough time thinking out the results of the action.

What could go wrong?

If you build a mindset that says, I am 100% responsible for every single thing around me, then it becomes simple.

If something goes right, great. Don’t celebrate. It worked out how you planned.

And if something goes wrong, even better. You learned.

This is not an easy mindset to develop.

Don’t celebrate the W’s, which I am prone to do with fist pumps and self back pats.

Don’t give too much time to the L’s, which I also do in the form of energy and over thinking.
