Here is today’s Game and what’s going on.
Here is what I discovered today in our Dadly Daily Declaration reading from The Perfect Day Formula by Craig Ballantyne.
The title of today’s reading is “How to Control Your Days.” Let’s jump in with a few highlights first:
- Rituals are powerful. We must harness them for good and create the habits we need to control our days and win our mornings, and to put them in place for productivity and progress in life. The right rituals and routines are the right actions automatic, not matter how chaotic things get.
- You can’t control the external world. But you can control your thoughts, words, and deeds. When you do this, you can do remarkable things. It all starts with recognizing what is under your control.
- You can control what time you wake up, what habits you start the day with, what temptations enter your life, and what systems you have in place for dealing with those.
- You can control your belief in yourself. You can take more control over your schedule and energy than you might believe right now. And most importantly, you can control your morning, and in doing so, win your day.
- The most important ritual in your life is what time you choose to get out of bed, and the best decision you can make is to start getting up fifteen minutes earlier. This will allow you to attack your number one priority first thing in the morning. Do not linger under the warm covers. That is for average people stuck in the struggles of ordinary lives. You are destined for greatness. You will not stand for failure.
- Getting up fifteen minutes earlier than you normally do, and spending that time working on your top priority, may be difficult at first. But this how you make BIG progress in your life.
- Your morning victories start with preparing properly the night before. You must have a plan in place to take action the next morning. The earlier you rise, the fewer opposing forces to your self-control, and the more momentum you’ll have to overcome the inertia of procrastination.
Those gems lead us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
You control your behavior. Your success is your personal responsibility. Take action. Do the first things first. Do what matters even if you don’t feel like it . Get up and give your number one priority the focus it deserves for at least fifteen minutes every morning.
Your first victory sets the proverbial ball rolling. This first win is also the biggest win and one that no one can take away from you. That’s why you must start early and control your morning, so that your day will go exactly as planned.
