A morning routine is a way to take back control of your day. Now, do things happen?

2
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:10.080
Do things change? Are there fire drills? Yes, but we're not talking about the

3
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.040
exceptions. It's not what you do once in a while that really creates the

4
00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:19.840
challenge. It's what you do on a daily basis that becomes habit, that becomes

5
00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:24.200
part of your character, that becomes your life. Those are what really matters, not

6
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:29.240
just the the little things here and there. So a morning routine that takes

7
00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:34.160
back control of our mind, establishes the direction. I remember when I was on

8
00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:39.240
television with Brian Tracy, success legend, guru Brian Tracy, and he was

9
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:44.200
interviewing me for his television show. And he said, now Brenda, if you were going

10
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.440
to give one piece of advice to someone as it relates to what we're

11
00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:53.040
talking about here, what would that be? And I said, have a morning routine, have a

12
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:58.840
morning spiritual practice. He says, ah yes. He says it is the the rudder that

13
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.880
sets the sail of your life. And I've always remembered that people that are

14
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:10.280
successful understand that how you treat your morning is how your day, and how

15
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:14.720
your week, and how your month, and how your year. See, I like to say this.

16
00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:19.680
Everybody desires a great life. You know, how many people do you know that they

17
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.600
grew up and said, I want to be a real loser. That's what I want to be when I

18
00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:27.520
grow up. I want to be addicted, and frustrated, and depressed, and I want to

19
00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:30.560
make sure I'm broke, and I want to be sick, and I want to be tired. I want to be

20
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:38.680
a loser when I grow up. No. So how is it that we get into these situations? And it

21
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.400
is step by step. So people say, I want to have a great life. They tell me, I just

22
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.240
want to have a great life. And I go, well guess what? A great life is made of great

23
00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:53.800
years. And great years are made of great months. And great months are made of

24
00:01:53.800 --> 00:01:59.760
great weeks. And great weeks are made of great days. And if we could keep going.

25
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.880
Great days are made of great minutes. Let's take back this minute. Let's take

26
00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:08.639
back this day. Let's take back this morning. You're here. You want

27
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.840
this outcome of a great life. I agree. So do I. We've got to back it up now. Remember

28
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.680
we talked about going back to the basics. We've got to back it up. How are you

29
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:24.640
stewarding the gift of your life? How are you stewarding the gift of time?
