Rules of Life
Everything you now find easy you first found difficult. With consistent practice, getting up with the sun will become your new normal. And automatic.
For my newsletter for May, I summarised the book 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma.
If you haven't read the book summary, please read it here. I condensed a 317-page book into a newsletter that you can read in 9 minutes.
Going through my summary notes again, I found these four rules shared by the billionaire with his mentees in the book.
These are:
Rule 1
An addiction to distraction is the end of your creative production.
Empire-makers and history-creators take one hour for themselves before dawn, in the serenity that lies beyond the clutches of complexity, to prepare themselves for a world-class day.
Rule 2
Excuses breed no genius. Just because you havenโt installed the early-rising habit before doesnโt mean you canโt do it now.
Release your rationalizations and remember that small daily improvements, when done consistently over time, lead to stunning
results.
Rule 3
All change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.
Everything you now find easy you first found difficult. With consistent practice, getting up with the sun will become your new normal. And automatic.
Rule 4
To have the results the Top 5% of producers have, you must start doing what 95% of people are unwilling to do.
As you start to live like this, the majority will call you crazy. Remember that being labelled a freak is the price of greatness.
Rule 5
When you feel like surrendering, continue. Triumph loves the relentless.
I hope you find these rules as thought-provoking as I did.
