Victory before first victory

There’s too much on this lamp’s base. But it’s a holiday season, so, letting it ride for now.

Victory before the first personal victory?

Yes.

Make the first thing you do (after going to the bathroom if needed first) is drop to your knees and pray.

Daily habits and rituals help fend off procrastination.

Keep your habits and rituals simple.

Do less, better.

The easier it is to do, the quicker and stronger the habit sticks.

Habits are the good things we do, and the bad things. Habits are also the good things we don’t do, and the bad things we wish we didn’t.

Habits define everything about you.

Let the first thing be

Flowers during a Finland trip. Same flowers you see in Glacier National Park.

Let the first thing be, upon awakening, thank you.

So cliche.

Say thank you to start your day.

Up to you.

Proud of you for the way you honor such a simple, initial, daily habit and ritual.

Secret hack to improve your spirit

Love the juxtaposition between Disney and Glacier National Park (famous red Jammer Bus), at Castaway Cay in the Bahamas.

The secret hack to improving your spirit?

The way to get better is to get better at getting better.

Probably in the first or second week after our son was born, two decades ago, after i awoke and walked down the hall to his room, i would kiss his head and get on my knees and say three significant prayers.

Then i would return to our bedroom and kiss my wife on her head as she slept.

As recent empty nesters, this daily habit is continued without the walk down the hall.

Once a day, everyday, for 20 years.

Seemingly insignificant.

Prior to 20 years ago, i did not start the day on my knees.

Now it’s unfathomable to start any other way.

The reality is this ritual doesn’t take long. For that very reason, how could i ever skip a day?

Start on your knees

Amazing. Grace. The gift of another day.

Start on your knees.

Why?

Why wouldn’t you?

Seriously.

Think about it.

Seriously, i cannot imagine having a life that is so busy and/or unfocused that i couldn’t start on my knees.

To be clear, this was an evolution, a transformation, to create this habit after becoming a dad in 2000.

What’s stopping you?

Just an hour ago, as dawn ushered in sunrise. The king-sized water bed is going to a new home. In its place, something new and different.

What’s stopping you from beginning (or/and ending) your day on your knees in gratitude?
