Okay so it was a great day today, but still well short of outstanding.
In contrast, I'd say yesterday was an outstanding day because I remained focused on the things that were most important to me, I was being responsible for getting the results that I desire, and I was doing things that were important to me, rather than anybody else.
I had an awesome workout, an outstanding day at work, plenty of rest, relaxation, good food, fresh air, connected with family and friends...
And despite about 30 minutes of self-indulgent whimpering over imaginary problems about my wife, I gave myself top marks for the way that I thought, felt and behaved throughout the day.
Today, however, I have spent too much time on these boards, I did not exercise at the pace that I desire, nor did I work as effectively as I require in order to achieve the things I want.
In short, today I dropped my standards for myself. Today I have done some great things, but great is not the new standard I have vowed.
What's great is that I know I am doing things for myself. What's great was reading that post (I think it was from Michelle?) about time being the LBS friend.
But what's outstanding is when I design my hourly results in advance, and then follow through on the things I am intending, which keeps me feeling happy, confident and creative all along the way.
To get results like I have never seen before, I must become something I have never been before.
What must I become? I must become congruent. Truly, deeply, profoundly happy with myself, for nobody but myself.
My DBing is not about my wife. It's about becoming the man I was born to be.
Okay. NOW I feel OUTSTANDING!!!

I am being the possibility of:
1) Integrity 2) Loving myself completely. 3) Things flowing naturally between us, without any fear or attachment to the outcome.
