Days 18-25 of 40: Waking up by 5am
A week ago, I rocked the day!
I was up at 5am. I got my winter running gear on and went out into the calm pre-dawn darkness with nothing but the stars looking on.
My face felt like it was freezing off, but despite that, it was invigorating to be out so [...]
Days 15-17 of 40: Waking up by 5am
I have not been publishing a daily blog post about my waking at 5am journey the past few days so this is yet another one to cover a 3-day period. I stayed up way too late on Monday and Tuesday nights and, as a result, struggled with getting up early and did not complete my [...]
Days 12-14 of 40: Waking up by 5am
This past weekend was a success and I did much better at waking up at 5am than I did the previous weekend. A benefit of waking up early has been that I actually want to go to bed by 10pm because I am tired.
Before I started this new habit I would seem to [...]
Self Confidence Formula
I recite this statement aloud daily as part of my Hour of Power. It is taken word-for-word from Napoleon Hill's classic work Think and Grow Rich. Enjoy!

Every Friday I [...]
Day 8-10 of 40: Waking up by 5am
Yes, I am still at it with my 40-day plan for installing the habit of waking up at 5am. I had some issues with my WordPress blog site and was unable to post anything for the past few days while I worked on getting it fixed. I appear to be back up and [...]
Day 7 of 40: Waking up by 5am
It has not been easy to get up early and work on installing this new habit in my life, but is has been very rewarding! I have learned so much during the past week as I have gone through this process and written about it on my blog. I am also grateful for [...]
Day 6 of 40: Waking up by 5am (FAIL)
Yes, I chalked up yet another fail Sunday morning, but it sure felt good to sleep in until 8am!
I think Saturday and Sunday mornings will ultimately be the toughest days to wake up at 5am and I hope that by the end of my 40-day experiment that I will be able to overcome the [...]
A Week in Review: Mar. 8-14, 2011
March 8-14 was a busy one in which I was striving to apply and implement key elements from what I have been reading about recently. For some reason I have been voraciously consuming any information I can get my hands on that has to do with focus, simplification, pursuing passions and creating a life of [...]
