When something pleasant happens, we whip out the “good” label. When faced with unpleasant conditions out comes the “bad” label. Unfortunately, hasty use of “good” and “bad” can lead us to jumping to the wrong conclusions. An old story illustrates this….

Getting fit is sometimes boring… mind numbing, check yourself into the funny farm monotony. …
“I now realize why it is so hard for most people to follow a simple plan.”
“And why is that?” I asked.
“Because following a simple plan to become [fit] is boring”…

Often when we are right in the middle of a difficult situation, it is tempting to look at our results as a disaster.

Signs sometimes give me whiplash… well, mental whiplash.
“Get a new body. Get a new life.”
That’s what I saw in the window of a niche gym next to a grocery store that I frequent. There’s usually a parking spot open in front of it, so I see their advertising. “That’s backwards,” I thought to [...]

As I read an article about choosing happiness, the last paragraph brought back memories of events that deeply impressed me. I had a number of times the great privilege of sitting in a few public and private meetings with Les McGuire before his death. On his radio program, he would introduce himself saying, “I [...]

Two weekends ago, an unexpected revelation struck me. I’ll be participating in a large cycling event next month, and decided to focus that Saturday on distance riding. I thought that perhaps if I pushed myself I might be able to ride 30 miles (48 km). I prepped and started pedaling. I enjoyed the morning, and [...]

However, the most common theme that I run across on weight loss blogs is self-criticism and negativity. When I see this, I often think of some principles that I learned from Dr. Fred Luskin’s book Forgive for [...]

I had an interesting experience. It brought to mind a 19th century poem that has the words, “Do what is right, let the consequence follow.”
After I wrote Pick Nits Only When Useful, Then Stop, I realized that while I had been monitoring my change in weight, I wasn’t really tracking. In other words, other than [...]

I’ve read literally hundreds of books on success, goals, productivity, personal development, etc. One thing that I’ve noticed that appears consistently is the concept of measurement. If one wishes to achieve an objective, one must be able to determine whether progress is being made, or if you’re just keeping yourself busy.
