Today sees the continuation of our Dadly Daily Declaration series with insights drawn from Robin Sharma‘s newest book, The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Your Life.
The next eleven declarations will explain Sharma’s Eleven Maxims to Increase Your Financial Fortune and Experience an Exquisite Life. The first maxim is: To Create Magic in the World, Own the Magic within Yourself.
Here are a few gems from today’s reading:
- Look in the mirror. Your relationship with you predicts your relationship with the world.
- Remember that you have a primitive longing for silence and solitude—and that it is in quietude that self-awareness rises.
- Release your need for complexity and immerse yourself in the stillness only the early morning can provide so you get to know yourself again.
- To become an everyday magician, so your life is rich with passion, plenty and peace, grow more comfortable being still. So you start to hear the whispers of the great genius who slumbers within you. In restfulness, you’ll remember all you truly are. You’ll reaccess that supreme self, abundant with creativity, potency, invincibility and a love that has no conditions.
- In this sanctuary of silence, you will also be afforded something so rare in this age: time for yourself to be. And the more you do so, the more you’ll discover how life really works. You’ll also begin to differentiate between your beliefs that are merely cultural constraints and those that are actual truths. And between the trustworthy voice of your intuition and the persuasive pronouncements of your fears.
That leads us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Why do you think the legendary scientists, inventors, industrialists and artists all made so much effort to be alone? Long stretches spent in noiseless contemplation is one of the secrets of the advanced mind. Ultimately, you’re the only person you’ll be with your entire life. Why not strengthen your relationship with your greatest self, fully know your genius and start a lifetime love affair with your most noble nature?
