Beating the Sun (Again)

Mornings are good; they are better than evenings (except for sunset views).
Your body is recharged.
The mind should be more at ease.
Worries should be fewer, and breakfast is the only meal that is "served all day."

Waking up early—very early—was normal (at least for me) a lifetime ago.
You get more things done,
it’s quiet and free of distractions.
So why don’t we just wake up early anymore?

It would be easy to blame responsibilities and being tired for why we can't wake up earlier,
but that’s an easy way out.
I believe we stop trying to beat the sun when two things happen to us:
We lose a big motivator (being competitive, learning something, getting more done, spiritual time, etc.).
We fall for comfort and a life without the demands of growth.
Each one follows the other, like a dog chasing its tail.

Today marks almost day 30 of waking up really early again. I am happier, healthier, more connected with God, learning new things every day, playing my guitar, and writing more.

Until the next one,

J
