A HABIT (Part Two)

One of my daily habits, which is the foundation of my life, is spending 45-60 minutes each and every morning feeding my body physically by exercising and feeding my mental spirit either by reading or listening to a motivational message to warm me up for the day ahead. Everyone washes their physical body and feeds their body every morning, but 95% of people will find an excuse about why they can not find the “TIME” to invest in a habit of feeding their MINDS! I consider this particular daily habit of mine to be the driving force behind my intense focus on success and living a dream life.
Is it easy all the time? Of course not, but when it becomes a habit – you will do it! If you commit today to begin each morning warming yourself up for the day ahead by feeding your mental spirit, your entire life will change in a very positive fashion very quickly. It is like driving a race car with the emergency brake on and you try to go ahead, but you can’t move. You stay in the same location with your wheels spinning, burning up, making a lot of noise, but not going anywhere! All it takes is to release the brake and you will fly towards toward your WHY in life!!
You need to review what your habits are and ask yourself…”Would I recommend MY habits to someone I truly love and care about?” Your entire future lies in your daily habits—positive or negative. You have the most powerful force right now in your hands, the ability to decide what your habits will begin to be.
PASS THE TEST OF TIME

The only currency that we all have the same amount of is time. Time is the ultimate currency and how you invest your time will determine your success. In order for you to attain your WHY in life, you need to realize that every minute wasted is currency/money you just lost. Every successful person that you see in life is simply someone who understands the power of waiting through the seasons of harvest time.
“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”
“And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.”
These two citations express the importance of waiting and being persistent. When you are investing your currency/time correctly, you will reap the rewards.
The following is a very inspirational message that I know you will need on your journey to achieving your WHY in life!
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must – but never quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out;
Stick to your task, though the pace seem slow –
You may succeed with one more blow.
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt –
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that
YOU MUSN’T QUIT.
