"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten."
We are creatures of habit. Some habits edify. Others blunt our effectiveness. Break unhelpful patterns during the first hour of your day!
Get up at an earlier hour. Study scripture. Meditate. Pray. Journal. Contemplate the day ahead. Become conscious of your resources. Become present to your opportunities. Establish a higher purpose than merely enduring, surviving or reacting.
Break your fast (breakfast) differently. Drive a different, longer route to the office. Park in a different place. Say a prayer as you enter the practice. Change the routine. Change the order. Change the timing. Change the pattern. Change!
Our power comes from being 100% present. Habitual ways of being obscure the present as our mind wanders into the future or wherever we allow it to go. Hold your thoughts captive. Be the cause, not merely an effect.
