episode 288: My Recent Epic Fail: Controlling the controllables
Episode #288 // We all know what to do, for the most part. Each day when we wake up, we can either choose to do it, or not do it. If we choose to not do it, then our brains quickly come to the rescue to tell us why that’s the best decision under the circumstances — this is rationalization, and we all master it at a pretty young age.
But, no matter how hard we try to convince ourselves, deep down… we know! It niggles at us — we can’t avoid the feeling that comes with the subconscious fallout of not doing the things we know we should.
Leadership is like this! One thing I was able to master during my corporate career was the discipline of doing what needed to be done as a leader, without hesitation. And I was able to do it with commitment, energy, and integrity. When I look back, I’m very proud of how I conducted myself as an executive leader, for the most part.
But on the rare occasion, the dog eats my homework too! I mastered my leadership discipline long ago — but why haven’t I mastered these identical principles in every other area of my life? They’re so obvious… I’ve used them in so many areas… and I’ve experienced the deep satisfaction and success from the hard work I’ve put in.
Yet still, I find myself dedicating today's episode to a recent epic fail in my choices. I took my eye off the ball, and didn’t control the controllables. And now I’m paying the price.
I start this episode by telling my sad tale of woe, and then I give you a simple but powerful process, which I hope will help you to identify and control the controllables in your life.
