Good day and I hope you are having a blessed day. The topic of this week’s blog post will be
reading like a satire to some readers who are students of success principles,
and even some hard core Law of Attraction (LOA) students. To the majority of
the society though, this will be an eye opening post. I hope it will be
educational, and more importantly something that you will take action on.
What is the single most important step to take towards
success? Arguably knowing where you are and where you want to go. In addition to writing down your goals, the
majority of highly successful people have another habit in common. Taking time to plan their day the FIRST THING
IN THE MORNING. What do I mean by this? Simply this, start your day by taking 15 to
30 minutes to QUIETLY plan the rest of your day. Better yet, get this done the last thing the
night before and spend 15 minutes fine
tuning it in the morning. FRIST THING.
Many people tell me they don’t have the time to plan every
morning. The response of you the success
students to this is most likely “whhhaaaatttt?”. So I ask you to read it again
out loud and see how ridiculous it sounds saying it out loud. Because I want
this to have an impact. “I don’t have
time to plan first thing in the morning”. Sometimes when we internally dialogue
with ourselves it sounds reasonable. When said out loud it will have a
different effect. This just sounds
backwards. Your success cannot happen
without planning.
From a LOA point of view, you have to visualize daily and as you take
steps to accomplishing your goals you cannot afford not to start
your day with at least positive inputs to your subconscious. All throughout your day, you will in all likelihood be
bombarded with negative propaganda. That
is just what is out there. You have to
feed your mind appropriate fuel first thing in the morning just as you feed
your body a healthy breakfast.
If breakfast is the most important meal of the day for your
body, the 15 to 30 minutes you take before doing anything else is the most
important “meal” for your brain. Most of
us and I include myself, have a tendency to grab some tea or coffee, and hit
the e-mails first. Before you know it,
the time is past and it is noon. If you
are disciplined, maybe you get a work out in before, which is much better
alternative. Your 15-30 minutes of
planning though has to happen preferably before that or right after your
workout.
Imagine trying to navigate a path you have not taken
before. Would you just start walking as
you check a few e-mails, sipping coffee?
You would walk into trees, or fall of the face of the cliff. You would take out your map or GPS, or
compass and plan your rout carefully considering options, milestones, and landmarks to keep you on track. Once you are done planning your route, then you
eat your breakfast and get moving.
You cannot afford not to take time at the start of your day
to at least plan the rest of the day. In
fact you should do this every day, every week, every month, and every year
depending on the time frame of your goals.
If may seem like you are wasting time and I assure you nothing could be
further from the truth. Once you get
into a habit of doing this for a month or so, you will ask yourself how you
could have survived not doing this? So
please humor me and try this for a couple of weeks. Give it a honest effort and
you will see that it will streamline your day, make you more effective, and
will increase your vibration from start which can only attract more opportunity
to you.
I hope you enjoyed and gained something from this post. If
