The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life

by Robin Sharma

This day is priceless. All the money in the world will not bring it back again. And so, I seize it and I savor it and I honor it. This day, I fill my mind with big dreams so there is no space for petty doubts. I replace the psychology of can’t with the mentality of can. And I remember that my greatest growth lies at the jagged edges of my highest limits. This day, I’ll recall that until my mission becomes my obsession, my gifts will never become my glory. And until my hunger to serve transcends the insecurities of my self, I’ll miss the grand chance of these precious hours to be a vehicle for helpfulness. This day, I reload my devotion to avoid a counterfeit nobility, staying sincere, humble—with both feet on this sacred ground. Should naysayers and bad actors throw rocks at me, I reply with kindness and love in the face of their bad behavior—even if they don’t deserve it. Should critics make fun of me—as they always have since I was a kid—I’ll take the rocks they throw at me and make them into monuments of mastery. And should anyone call me strange, as they often do, I’ll smile with the blatant wisdom stuck deep in my heart that it’s only misfits, oddballs and eccentrics that change our world. Being different is really cool. And eccentricity is very hip.
