I heard this on a recent podcast: the first hour of your day sets the tone for the rest, and the last hour of your day sets the tone for the next. Begin and end your days well.

My maxim in life is to approach every day with a constructive attitude, meaning I look at every situation as an opportunity for growth or learning. Every day is an opportunity to be wiser or stronger than yesterday.

I love early mornings, particularly when dawn is breaking.. I try to do three things every day: write, read and test my brain or body. In the morning or evening, I’ll put my thoughts and emotions (particularly strong or negative ones) on paper. I also practice some mindfulness or meditation, again either in the morning or evening depending on how busy my day is.. I concentrate my attention on a part of my body to stop my mind wandering and help develop focus. I believe the physical condition of my body affects my performance at work, so I try to get in some form of physical activity or if pressed for time it could be banging out 20 pull-ups or press-ups at home. I believe physicality equals mentality.

My must-haves every morning are a large glass of water and listening to an inspirational podcast.

The best advice I’d give to you my friends, is to look at your health, environment, and social circle and see if they need changing or at the very least adjusting. Lastly, even in an era of get rich quick schemes, get comfortable with zero. All businesses start from zero. You don’t make a profit right away or have a salary or customers to begin with. You start from nothing. It goes without saying you have to put in the work to be successful

GET COMFORTABLE WITH ZERO...
