Episode 079: I don’t mind losing as long as I see improvement or I feel I’ve done as well as I possibly could.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156199559372687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #079 — Always do your best ... It's true. I hated losing. Even when I was only competing with myself: falling short of a goal, missing a target date or revenue mark or milestone or weight. Even in those arenas - or especially in those arenas! - I…

Episode 078: Fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156184063402687/ @Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #078 — The Genie Won't Fit Back In The Bottle Bertrand Russell's quote got me thinking ... "Fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts." I notice that I fixated on the last three words. And here's what bubbled up:…

Episode 077: By amending our mistakes, we get wisdom. By defending our faults, we betray an unsound mind.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156178553642687/ @Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #077 — This is hard .... I am not a big fan of making mistakes. Worse, I hate cleaning them up (because admission comes in between ... and that still makes me uncomfortable). But it's in the cleaning up that the learning and wisdom are unearthed. And the…

Episode 076: Life must be understood backwards; but… it must be lived forward.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156156207447687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #076 — Learn from the past. Live for the future. The farther into the future I look, the fuzzier my crystal ball becomes. Predicting the future is hard enough, trying to make sense of life while looking forward is impossible. Equally impossible is trying to live your life…

Episode 074: The truth of most truths is that they are perception and not, in fact, true.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156133558322687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #074 — Perception isn't reality? Back in college I was taught that for any interaction, there are three versions of the event: what I experienced, what the other person experienced, and what actually transpired. Regardless, the record of the event is written through my lens. My perception is…

Episode 073: How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156108249047687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #073 — Reaction vs Response When I lose, my default reaction used to be anger, sadness, externalizing the blame, and sometimes even lashing out. So when I first saw this quote from Gilbert Keith Chesterton, I noticed how quickly I started defending those base, self-focused, ego-based reactions. I…

Episode 072: It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156087094457687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #072 — Nothing to prove! Having been a cyclist since 2005, something shifted after I turned 50. And, NO, I don't mean physically (though that may be true, too). I mean emotionally and energetically. Before 50, being one of the first ones up the hill was important. Once…

Episode 071: No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156071237867687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #071 — "Think longer" may be the new "Think different" Nothing is impossible, it's merely a matter of investing enough of three currencies: time, energy, and thought. Time must be carved out and dedicated to the effort. Energy must be reserved for and committed to the work. And…

Episode 070: It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.

By Mindset Mondays
https://www.facebook.com/david.taylorklaus/videos/10156056634457687/ Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #070 — Keep going! Giving up on something is often the quick and easy way out. But that "quick" can have lasting impact. The second-guessing, the self-criticism, and the self-flogging lingers long after the quitting is done. All too often it's merely the persistence that makes the difference…
