What you think about you bring about

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”

I hit the snooze three times this morning.

Every day before I get out of bed I visualize what I want for my future, for my family’s future. I feel the kind of energy I want our home to have, the joy I want my kids to experience, and I think about the kind of person I need to become to make my dreams a reality. Because...

“What you think about you bring about.”

I’ve seen it over and over, driven people (myself included) make a decision to change something in their lives... and they do! They create the life they want, the business they want, the family they want... sometimes against all odds. These people inspire the hell out of me!

I don’t know why this thought never occurred to me before but I hit me like a ton of bricks this morning, it made me jump out of bed:

The people I look up to, the people who think big and take bold action in their lives, DON’T SLEEP IN.

They rise with purpose and leverage time to do what it takes to make their dreams come true. They DO because they ARE.

Be. Then do. Then have. That’s how you win. Not the other way around.

I’m sure I’ll sleep in on occasion and snuggle with my family instead of spin on the Peloton, and I’m not perfect. But I’m not going to just wish, and hope, and dream... I’m also going to be, and do, and try to inspire.
