Set Your Bar Low

 

Really!? Ever heard the tale of the tortoise and the hare? Spoiler alert: the tortoise wins. This isn't just a children's story; it's a life lesson in the glory of taking things slow and steady. Setting the bar low might sound like an underachiever's motto, but let's be real—Rome wasn't built in a day, and anything worth achieving in your life won’t be either… (Like your PeaceWalker / Krav training… for instance!) Imagine this: you’re ready to take on the world, inspired by Jocko Willink's 4:30 AM wake-up calls and David Goggins’ relentless pursuit of pain. You try it, and by day three, you’re resembling a zombie who needs a GPS to find the motivation you lost somewhere between your bed and the coffee maker. Instead, why not set a goal of waking up just 15 minutes earlier each day? Progress! Jocko might scoff, “You call that discipline?” while doing a one-handed push-up with a tank strapped to his back. Meanwhile, Goggins would probably run a marathon in the Sahara bare (chested of course) just to prove a point. But let's face it, most of us aren't ex-Navy SEALs or ultramarathon runners. We’re mere mortals who benefit more from a slow crawl toward our goals than a full sprint. The truth is, small steps are the secret sauce to sustainable success. They build confidence, create habits, and, most importantly, keep you from feeling like a failure. So, set that bar low. Remember, even the tallest mountains are climbed one step at a time—and without Goggins chasing you, it might actually be enjoyable! =D What About BHag’s?! BHAG’s?? What the f@#k are those!? Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals are bold and eye-catching goals. They can be quantifiable or measurable, and can sometimes catch on with people outside of the organization that set them. So, how do BHAG’s, Dreaming Big, and Reaching for the Stars in any way shape or form have anything to do with Setting the Bar Low?! Simple. Always Remember This… Dream Big, Have Mammoth Goals, just break down the path getting there into small, manageable steps that you can steadily achieve until you actually reach the tops of those mountains. …And that my friend is the realistic way you and I can actually get to those goals and raise the bar!
