We need inspiration. Everyday.
Today is the day matters. All of life is happening now, in this moment. Now is the convergence of the journey of your past and the potential of your future. Now is the only time that you can be you and connect with your Creator. Now, and the next “now” moments, are when life unfolds.
So give yourself a boost! Make the most of now and set yourself up to maximize the rest of your day. Or this cliche: If you win the morning, you win the day.
Start your day inspired.
Some people wake up on fire. (And that can be cultivated, believe it or not.) Others hate everything and everyone until two cups of coffee. Either way, don’t surrender to your default morning status. Cultivate passion. Here are my cliff notes of what I recommend:
1. Breathe—After sitting up, breathe, and pay attention to your body and what you’re feeling.
2. Pray—I have a regular prayer I pray most days.
3. Read—It can be this Chewables blog, a passage of Scripture, a chapter from a book you know will deliver, etc.
4. Focus—Your primary objectives for the day will help you conclude this preparation time and take action toward your goals.
Use whatever tools you find helpful to spark inspiration and divine connection first thing in the morning. Your day—your life—depends on it.
