The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)

Our First Challenge: Finding Time
I knew that the solution to all of my problems was that I had to commit
to making personal development a priority in my daily life. This was the
missing link that would enable me to become the person I needed to be able to
consistently attract, create, and sustain the levels of success that I wanted.
Simple enough.
However, my main challenge was the same as anyone’s: finding time. I
was so busy just trying to survive my life and pay my bills, that the idea of
finding “extra” time for my personal development seemed almost impossible.
Maybe you can relate?
I love what bestselling author, Matthew Kelly says: “On the one hand,
we all want to be happy. On the other hand, we all know the things that make
us happy. But we don’t do those things. Why? Simple. We are too busy. Too
busy doing what? Too busy trying to be happy.”
So, I grabbed my planner, sat down on my couch, and committed to
finding time—making time—for my daily personal development. I considered
the options:
Maybe the Evening?
My first thought was that maybe I could make time in the evenings, after
work, or maybe late at night, after my fiancé goes to bed. But then I realized
that the evening was really the only time I had to spend with her during the
day. Not to mention that late at night is rarely when I’m at my best. I’m
usually so tired that focusing is even more of a challenge than it usually is. In
fact, I’m hardly coherent, let alone in an “optimum” state of mind for personal
development. Evening was not going to be the optimum time.

Possibly the Afternoon?
Maybe I could schedule it in the middle of the day? Possibly on my
lunch break, or somewhere in between, I could just find some “extra” time.
Well, that extra time just doesn’t show up and the day usually gets away from
us.
