Wake up!

Ever searched about how to be successful, or how to be more effective or how to be better than every single person in this world? You surely must have done if you believe in those things. However, we just skim through the self-help text, or zoom past that motivational video without actually gaining anything from it. We do the same with the promises we make to ourselves, even the small ones which we think we shall do but don’t because of their frivolous masters – We ourselves. We don’t get into the seriousness of the goal which we set, because we know no one’s goin’ to kick our asses if we don’t accomplish that, we ourselves are responsible for it and we know we lack the gut to punish ourselves. Getting back to what I started, according to me what gives an edge over the world and to really have what you need is waking up early. Of course you need to have various other habits inoculated in your character to win over this world and to lead a life you desire, but for every single thing you need time and time is what you get when you wake up early as simple as that. Don’t you feel crazy enough about the thought itself to be awake and doing things while the world sleeps? Yes you do, but you feel much lazier than that crazier feeling because… what I earlier told, that no one will ask you to wake up early to get that extra nudge of time over your peers and we are on our own guidance. And we are lazy enough not to wake up early because we see more reasons why not to than to the benefits of why we should. It is difficult to have that will to make yourself learn a habit without the urgency in demand for that habit. But everything that is amazing is difficult and so is waking up early. Aristotle once said that, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit”. So you know what I mean, it is as easy after becoming a habit as it is difficult while you started. And more than that, how you use your time is of utmost important. It shouldn’t happen like you wake up early and end up on social networks and do the things you so nicely manage to do – passing your time. Earn that time to do something meaningful and for what you shall thank yourself some time later in life. It helps, it surely does but what you shouldn’t is waste that time you woke up early in wasting it again in your sleep later in that day. 


This one shall help you understand better.
