- The reason a morning
routine is so important
is because it carries your whole day.
Now, I don't mean momentum
wise, I mean the opposite,
that if you're living
your life the whole day,
knowing that you have a routine tomorrow,
you have to live a certain way.
It's almost like an
accountability partner for you.
So, number one, when I know
I have to wake up at four,
I'm behaving in a
certain way all day long.
The biggest shift for me was,
I used to tell people, you know,
"I go to bed at eleven."
Now, I tell people, "I try
to stay up 'till eleven."
That means I'm living
my life the right way
because if I'm to the
point where I can't adjust,
I've seen this at the airport,
I'm waiting for a plan
and I can't wait to board
because I literally am out of energy.
If I sit down, which I
have, I'll fall asleep,
and I'll find my computer
on the floor, my phone,
someone robbed me,
because I just, I don't
have any energy left.
And, I will tell you,
I've lived my life almost everyday,
where I don't go to sleep.
Right, I just can't stay up.
That leads to the next morning,
where now my behavior is to
always have a home routine
and an away routine.
Right, I'm just like a baseball team.
My home routine is very significant,
prioritized by my health,
then my family, then my work.
Or an activity I get paid for.
Right, so...
On the road, it kinda shifts.
I try to balance the health,
but right now I gotta be honest,
that it goes family, activity
I get paid for, health.
Because I eat differently,
I don't work out every single day.
How can I lie to myself and say
"Oh, I'm prioritizing my health."
No I'm not.
I'm prioritizing my family
and my activity I get paid for
because I'm here today
because I wanna take care of my family,
I wanna get paid.
Okay, all these different things.
And if I was just
prioritizing my health, no.
I worked out this morning,
but tomorrow morning I
gotta jump on a plane,
I'm not gonna be able to work out.
And the question will be,
will I get to the gym and
not prioritize my family
because I know I gotta go
to my son's baseball game
which I'm gonna prioritize
over my own workout.
Which is going against
what I'm telling everybody
in the world, which is
why I'm full of shit,
that I prioritize my health.
Look if you prioritize your health
you don't look like this.
Even with the activity I have.
Let's just be honest, if
you prioritize your health
over everything else.
No, I prioritize with the
respect that I'm so active
that at least I give it an
hour of attention a day,
and I really do do that.
But the truth is if it
was my pure priority
I should give it like
three hours attention.
And maybe shift around
what that attention means
with diet, not drinking, or
stretching, I don't know.
You guys get the point.
But, the evolution is to pursue.
You're gonna expand, the
universe loves expansion.
If you're in the pursuit, you know,
pursuit of happiness, bullshit.
Happiness is pursuit.
I don't know anyone that's in the pursuit
of something that's not happy.
You ever see a dog go
chasing a bone, it's happy.
Chase the bone.
