Fucking beautiful.

I’ve been on just about every side of the fence on this myself… trying to figure out my morning routines and daily habits and path to success.

I’ve had to wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning for most of several years just to get to work/school on time..

I’ve lazed in bed to wake up least round 10am for months just cuz I can

I’ve chosen to wake up around 7am cuz it felt like a good time…

I’ve drunken water and did 5 minute journals and made tea and meditated and did a day journal and envisioned my day and got on mastermind calls and read books and fantasized and went straight into hard tasks and went hard into work outs and texted my love first and foremost and checked the news and listened to podcasts and shot my own podcasts and did ideastorms and played games and walked the dog and just sat and contemplated and so on and so forth… all to figure out WTF my routine was…

I still don’t really know… then again, I still don’t consider myself successful yet…

But I what I do know, is what I learned.

I learned about myself.

What I do and don’t like.

What makes a difference for me.

What makes me feel great and what makes me feel terribly depressed.

I know that I will likely keep changing and figuring out my routine at least until I consider myself successful.. which is as soon as I get to live the life I want to live.

And even then, when I’m ‘successful’, things will change. I will change. And I am glad of that.

Because the biggest thing people face with their routine… is not about picking or creating the right one.

The biggest problem is that people fail to change their routines at all.

Even when they know they have bad habits or just need to do something different to get to a different place; they fear the work of changing up their style and comfort roles.

Same shit, different day… nets the same results, day after day.

You better be real happy with your life if that’s how you’re living.

Right now, even though I’m bashing myself for breaking my 3 month routine… I’m still kinda proud that I changed into a completely new one in these last two weeks that isn t necessarily bad.. just different. Though I had a change in environment to thank, I know I can and will change again.

I really look up to Elon Musk. One day I’ll be creating a bunch of progressive companies centered around moonshot, futuristic ideas too… but in order for me to get there, I realized that I couldn’t try and copy his sleep schedule or routines..

I had to make my own.

I have to keep changing and learning and growing and doing till I find my spot.. and even then, I can’t stop.

Even when we find our routines. Keep learnig. Keep changing. Keep looking. There’s probably an even better one for you.

Thanks for the great posts Jon!! This one really inspired me 😀😁😃
