"The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing." - Stephen Covey

My morning routine is pretty straightforward. My alarm goes off at 4:50 am. I drink 500 ml of water and then I take the dog for a walk. We get back and I drink more water, put the coffee on and start a 20 minute session of gratitude, sending love and planning. I write a list of 10 things I am grateful for. I write a list of 3 people I do not like but want to send love to. I write a couple of lines of thought. Then I sit quietly for a few minutes and map out my day. Then I spend about 20 minutes in personal mindset training.

I am working on my Big Five list that I told you about before. I am trying to incorporate that work into my daily routine. I am at a point I think I can start to write down one of the Big Five. That is going to be a project that will take me a while but the gist of it is I want to lead a life significant enough that I will be a positive influence on thousands of people.

So the best stuff I have heard lately is that my thinking has gotten me to where I am now. If I want to get to where I want to be I need to change my thinking. That is what I do in my mornings. So the quote I put up this morning that I need to keep the main thing the main thing is perfect.

I need to make sure that I protect my mindset, my emotions, MY ACTIONS to completing my Major Purpose in Life. I may be working on my Big Five but there is one major purpose in my life and that is to become Senior Vice President in ACN. Not for the money. The money will allow me to work on one of my Big Five.

I believe that when I am working on achieving the position of Senior Vice President I will be changing my thought patterns, changing my life, changing my ABILITY to help others. I know that as I achieve the levels of success throughout my journey to SVP I will be helping more and more people achieve THEIR dreams.

Our society is built around the concept of mass production. Our education curricula are all geared to generating compliant cogs in an incompliant system. I believe it is my purpose to teach my students, my teammates, and anyone who will listen, the importance of self determination.

Our economy is changing and no longer is an education the key to financial success. It is important to be educated, but relying on an education for financial success is wrong. Self education is the key to success. Learn more about the work you do and you will be a success.

So I encourage you to get up at 5 am and join Robin Sharma’s 5 am club. Follow the 20-20-20 habit of exercise, planning and learning. And read The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy and your life will change in the direction you want it to!
