Progress is a few wins mixed in with a lot of failures. Try, fail, learn. Try, fail, learn. Try, win, learn. Repeat. This is the path. Just keep showing up between the wins. 🪵🪓

When we adults attempt to control the outcomes in order to provide students and young adults a break, it usually backfires.

Birth to age 10 is an eternity. 11 to 20 also takes forever. 20 to 30 sneaks up on you a little bit. 30 to 40 picks up some steam, and 40 to 50 glides by. 50 to 60 appears so far to have a jet engine.

Kids don’t want things to be easier. They want structure, clear routines, clear expectations, and consistent follow-through. But, structure without relationship is just control. High standards only work when we pair them with high support. Demand more. Teach more. Care more.

The best way to improve is not to focus on results. It’s to focus on habits. 27 studies: Behavior change goals are 3x more effective than outcome goals in boosting performance. Growth depends on altering the actions we can control. A key to progress is concentrating on process.
