My New Morning Routine
After watching one or two people's videos about the Miracle Morning, I downloaded the book straight away, and have just finished my 1st week of MM, while reading the book, my eyes were truly opened, and now I feel like I'm not just getting up going to work coming home going to bed and repeating the same boring cycle over and over again.
“There is nothing to fear, because you cannot fail—only learn, grow, and become better than you've ever been before.”
I am a morning person, generally, mornings are actually my favorite time of the day, but I haven't been using this to my advantage so far, so for a while now, I've been wanting to come up a plan than will help me make the best use of this time of the day and this book has offered me a decent direction. We'll see if I manage to stick to it and if it will have a significant impact on my life.
I had to put some effort into ignoring the writing style and focus on the essential. The author has a background in sales and that's totally obvious. I often felt he was beating a dead horse, running in circles around the idea of achieving one's “full” potential. The thing is, for the first few chapters he was trying to sell the idea of personal development, which was unfortunate for me, cause I'm already sold. I've been into this thing for years, so I was starting to lose faith he was ever getting to a point I could be interested in.
Once the book passed the self-congratulatory and sales pitch phase, there was finally some useful info. Sure, nothing revolutionary, he basically combined a series of personal development principles from different successful people in the business and made it into a ritual of sorts, but it's obvious he put work into acquiring this knowledge and he did set up a system that's very appealing to a lot of people.
This is a blog post spun out into a book. The basic idea is sound (Wake up earlier, make time for ‘personal development') but the padding makes it repetitive. It's also cheesy self-help guru all the way through.
