Why is it so important to get up early?
Some of y'all don't want it, that's why you ain't got it
I don't sleep when I'm tired, I sleep when I'm done
The average millionaire wakes up at 4:00 a.m.
So it started at 4 o'clock in the morning when I'd start
And I'd start with my cardio and then I'd have breakfast
And then I would go to the gym and then I'd go to work
Some of y'all have no idea what 4:00 a.m. looks like
Why would you not wake up at 4:30 a.m.?
Because you're too busy sleeping in
I'm prety sure I wake up earlier than all of you
We don't sleep when we are tired, we sleep when we are done
Too busy hitting the snooze button multiple times
Excuses sound best to the person that's making them up
And if we can really be honest
Some of y'all don't even go to bed until about 4:00 a.m.
If you can get up before the rest of the world is awake
Right, before the enemy is awake, you can get so much done
You're so much more productive
Stop feeling sorry for yourself, wake your ass up
And then they ask me, "Why are you up so early?"
Take responsibility to make your life happen
Awaken the beast inside
Wake up at 4:00 a.m.
So I begin to tell myself, there must be a reason
When you have something to do
When you have someone to love
When you have something to look forward to
When you get up in the morning
See people who have something to look forward to don't need an alarm clock
Because they have a reason for being
If you want to have one of the best lifes in the world
Which is, you live on your terms
Then you have to pay your dues to get there
You've decided that you're not going to allow your circumstances to define you
You've decided that you're not going to allow the abyss
The things, the people, life determine who you become
You got a problem with your life
You got a problem with your environment
Do something about it
If you want more freedom in your life you have to have more discipline
If you do what is easy, your life will be hard
But if you do what is hard, your life will be easy
You've decided that you're not going to go through life being a whiner
Being a complainer
That you're going to take responsibility for what it is that you want to create
That greatest ability that God has given humankind above the animals
Is the ability to choose
I remember years ago when the alarm used to go off in the morning
The first thing I did was roll over and hit the snooze button
In that instant when you have a choice
A choice to either hit the snooze button and go back to sleep
In your nice, warm, fluffy, cozy bed
Or open your eyes and get out of bed
That's a choice that takes discipline
Now I didn't have any discipline
I always took the easy route, the road that was more comfortable
The problem is when you make this decision
Because it's the first decision that you make
Literally the second you wake up, you are letting yourself off the hook
You are literally training your mind to take the easy way out throughout the whole day
Which in turn leads to you taking the easy way out the whole month, all year
Discipline in not something that any of us are born with
It's a muscle that we have to train
And I don't care what anyone says
It all start at first second
How you start your day and that decision that you make in that instant
Isn't as small as just getting up a bed or not
It's a decision that can shape the rest of your life
This ain't some motivational, inspirational bums
This is the truth
When I was younger I dreamed that one day I'd get a job
That paid me 50 grand a year
That for a boy where I come from was a dream come true
If you told me back then that I'd be running a seven figure company
And building a business of my own, I would have laughed in your face
It wasn't until I started to believe that I, and I alone could shape my world
That I started achieving anything I wanted to
That little decision in the morning
If you open your eyes and get out of bed
The next decision you face that day
You're gonna now be disciplined to not take the easy way out
People don't realize it, but that bed
Can basically represent your entire life
If you stay in that bed you're literally staying in your comfort zone
Which mean your day will be spent in your comfort zone
And your month, your year and before you know it
You spent your whole life in your comfort zone
Never pushing yourself to new heights
Never trying anything new, taking risks moving forward
It all starts in that first second of your day
So don't take it lightly
Start building discipline
It's something I started doing and it helped me massively
It ain't easy but it's worth it
Start your day with intention
Today I will be present
Today I will be kind
Today I will be the example I expect of others
Today I will give my all in every moment
It's all about intention
When you direct your focus to the good
You will see more good
If your focus directed to the stress and struggle
You will see more stress and struggle
If you want to be really happy, give thanks
That's the secret
Happy people are greatful people
So spend time in gratitude
Spend time in intention and expectation for what a great day
Today is going to be
Feed you mind with something positive
Read or listen to something uplifting
Something that will grow your mind or spirit
You attract your intentions
You attract your beliefs
You attract what you feel
So get up and feel good
When you direct your focus to the good
You will see more good
If your focus directed to the stress and struggle
You will see more stress and struggle
That is your only job
Get up and and get yourself feeling amazing
Ask yourself how can I feel great today
How can I grow today
How can I make others feel great today
Open your eyes to the magic around you
I guarantee you
You have been missing out on miracles
Because you have been lost in the stress and noise inside your head
Get out of your head and get into the magic of life
Today is a new day, a fresh clean canvas
You can paint whatever you want on that canvas
No matter what happpens, you are the artist
Add some color, some joy, some life to your canvas
Leave nothing off that canvas
As soon as you get up in the morning
Ask yourself what's really important today
Is it important to rush around stressed at everything I have to get done
Or can I just enjoy this moment?
Can I set the tone for the rest of my day?
You decide what kind of day you will have
Not what happens but how you will respond
To everything that happens
You can respond positively to any situation
Will you respond with presence
Will you see the good
Will you find a way around the obstacle
Will you write your own story
Or will life write it for you
I'm here to tell any of you in here
If you're battling, if you're struggling
You've got to know when to cut anchor and go all about your life
Because you can't be letting people live rent free up here
You can't be letting people hold you back
And who you surround yourself with matters
Change isn't heaven by accident
Change takes intentional choices to be different
Don't pursue the prophets of where can you gain things in life
Pursue your passions and your purpose
You need to take time to figure out your why
When you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe
That's when you find a way
You need to take time to figure out what passionate about
Because if you pursue your passion
I promise passion and purpose will always produce gains
And profits, socially, emotionally, and financially
It does not take talent
You don't have to be talented
Right, you don't have to be gifted
You don't have to be the quickest, the strongest
You don't have to be the most intelligent to get to where I am
I promise you if some of you will just begin to take ownership of your life
