"The mature human being goes about doing what needs to be done regardless of whether that person feels great or terrible.
Knowing that you are the kind of person with that kind of self-control brings all the satisfaction and confidence you will ever need.
Even on days when the satisfaction and confidence just aren’t there, you can get the job done anyway."
there are FIVE principles of Constructive Living.
Here they are:
1) Feelings are uncontrollable directly by the will.
2) Feelings must be recognized and accepted as they are.
3) Every feeling, however unpleasant, has its uses.
4) Feelings fade in time unless they are restimulated.
5) Feelings can be directly influenced by behavior.
And…
"Behavior wags the tail of feelings... We do, then we feel."

Good morning 🌞 
"I keep daydreaming a scene I’d like to put in a book or a movie. A madman (Me? Why not?) lives in a mental ward. (Me? It fits.)
Each day they let this man into the recreation room. He’s in his pajamas. He sits down at the circular table. The attendant gives him a big blank pad of paper and a box of crayons. He takes out the crayons and draws the head of a monster. He stares at the monster, screams, and runs out of the room.
The whole thing looks funny to the attendant. It looks, shall we say it... insane. The poor madman is scaring himself to death!
And crazy as that looks, we ourselves do that each day. We use our crayons (our imagination) to scare ourselves instead of to create."
From “Time Warrior” by Steve Chandler
"Have the courage and mental endurance to do whatever it takes to start knocking down those walls. You are the warden of your life. Don’t forget you hold the keys." David Goggins
From Team Heroic:
“Win or Learn.”
After any performance—especially those moments when things didn’t go as planned—ask yourself three simple questions:
1) What went well? (Start here, always!)
2) What needs work or what did I learn? (What insights can you take with you?)
3) How will I get better? (What’s the next step for growth?)
This process transforms every challenge into an opportunity to learn and grow. Whether you win or learn, you keep moving forward—failure becomes fuel.
This week’s new Philosopher’s Note is on Failing Forward by John Maxwell.
Here’s the intro quote to the Note:
“What makes the difference? Why do some people achieve so much? Is it…
Family background? Having a good family growing up is something to be grateful for, but it’s not a reliable indicator of achievement. High percentages of successful people come from broken homes.
Wealth? No, some of the greatest achievers come from households of average to below-average means. Wealth is no indicator of high achievement, and poverty is no guarantee of low achievement.
Opportunity? You know, opportunity is a peculiar thing. Two people with similar gifts, talents, and resources can look at a situation, and one person will see tremendous opportunity while the other sees nothing. Opportunity is in the eye of the beholder.
High morals? I wish that were the key, but it’s not. I’ve known people with high integrity who have achieved little. And I’ve known scoundrels who are high producers. Haven’t you?
The absence of hardship? For every achiever who has avoided tragedy, there’s a Helen Keller who overcame extreme disabilities or a Viktor Frankl who survived absolute horrors. So that’s not it either.
No, none of these things are the key. When it comes right down to it, I know of only one factor that separates those who consistently shine from those who don’t: The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception and response to failure. Nothing else has the same kind of impact on people’s ability to achieve and to accomplish whatever their minds and hearts desire.”
— John Maxwell from Failing Forward
