We continue our Dadly Daily Declaration series with insights drawn from Robin Sharma‘s newest book, The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Your Life. Our declarations for this week center on The Twin Cycles of Elite Performance, explained in the graphic below:
Here are some gems from today’s reading:
- Heaven on Earth isn’t some mystical, spiritual place to aspire to. It’s not some realm reserved only for saints, seers and sages. Not at all. Heaven on Earth is a state, that anyone can create.
- Business victory without a joyful heart misses the opportunity.
- Being successful without feeling soulful is the highest of defeats.
- Savoring the magic of a life astoundingly well-lived. Winning without enjoying is nothing.
- Life is beautiful. Don’t miss out on all of its awesomeness and incredibleness. It’s there for you—no matter what you might be going through. See, we all live on borrowed time. And life does whiz by so quickly. Utopia, Shangri-la, Nirvana and Heaven on Earth are just names for a state of being, not a place of visiting. You enter the magic of life and begin to experience outright bliss daily once you reclaim the inherent power that lurks in your core. And when you don’t postpone being grateful for even the tiniest of everyday graces. You’ll become a magnet for miracles when you begin being a magician of sorts.
That leads us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Life is generally a steady stream of beauty. That has little to do with having a lot of money. It has more to do with finding fulfillment, in the smallest of things. It has to do with spending a lot of time in nature, whether that’s in vineyards, or on walks in a forest, or hiking in the mountains, or being near the sea, or drifting through the sands of a barren desert. It has to do with reconnecting to the awe, wonder and majesty that every human life has available to it by visiting art galleries frequently and letting the energy and genius of the creators infuse your Mindset, Heartset, Healthset and Soulset. It has to do with eating fresh food, simply prepared, with interesting, real, thoughtful, creative and compassionate people who make you feel good. Stepping into the magic also has a lot to do with saying goodbye to your past, embracing the present and making a return to the imaginativeness, innocence, exuberance and lovingness you were intimate with when you were a child. Adults are deteriorated children. Heaven on Earth shows up naturally in your heart when you have the brilliance and bravery to start opening it up again. Like you did when you were little.
