The 365 Commitment

A New Day

Today is a new day. Yesterday, last year is gone. My 365 commitment is over and now I am on to the life journey. I have many things I am still working on getting to “365” on, but the core habit I am now officially “lifetime.”

You see you probably have a habit after 90 days. Repeat that 90 days  4 times and you will have a habit for life. Here I am. I will wake up everyday and do my list and go to bed every night reporting on it. I am a changed man.

Today is a new day. I am planning to make each day count as much as possible. When I commit to do an activity, I am going to really commit to it and do the best that I can. I am not going to dance around it. I am going to commit and do the best I can and leave it all on the table (what does that even mean)? When I do my daily 365 list items, I am going to do them with quality. I am not just going to get them done.

I am also going to dedicate my next chapter of the 365 commitment to serving other people. This will be tough, I am a complete introvert, but I will find a way. I will force myself to do so. Just like this blog. Exposing my soul for all the world to see is not an exercise I enjoy, it is tactical. I am doing it because of the value it brings me and hopefully a few others.

So I started a new notebook today. Page 1. Had a debate with myself. Do I start with a (1) or a (366)? I decided to go with keeping the () behind my name and just writing a blog article. Maybe I will one day have a (20,000) behind my name. Wouldn’t that be something? I am passing the torch of the Daily Blog to Ben Wagner. A 365 Member who has started his journey!

Day 331 – Are You in Control?

Humans have a unique ability to cope with uncertainty by creating an illusion of control, often attributing cause and effect to unrelated actions. This phenomenon, explored through examples like superstitions and personal anecdotes, suggests that while we may not have complete control over our environments, our brains are wired to find patterns and connections, even if they are not always accurate. This ability to fool ourselves into believing we have more control than we do can be beneficial, but it’s important to differentiate between actual impact and coincidental association.
