Today at 5:30am, I was awoken with the calling to get up and go write these 10 Steps to Make Today Great. After I tried fighting this urge to get a little more of sleep only to realize I couldn't turn it down, here's what was written:

In order to Make Today Great, it all begins with waking from a life of default and choosing to take control of your power of choice. Allow others to drift through life, but not you. Take control of your day and Choose to Make Today Great!

10 Steps to Make Today Great: 

Gratitude

Today is called the present because it is a gift from God. I accept this gift and responsibility and will choose to be a non-drifter as a Captain of my ship of life, steering it in the directions of my choosing, and focusing on my desired & ideal outcomes.

Growth

Today I intend on growing my: Health (mental, physical, emotional & spiritual) by choosing to move more, listening to inspirational, motivational, and educational audios (by Audible, YouTube, Podcasts, etc), and getting into a state of flow, knowing that what I focus my mind on most, becomes my reality.

Today I intend on growing my Relationships (personally, professionally, and socially) by choosing to be present in each and every conversation that I choose to enter (either face to face, online, or via technology). I also intend on being clear who my people are, and ensuring I give them the proper attention so they know that they are important to me. My primary relationship is the one with me and my self. I choose to forgive my self of any and all wrong doings of my past from decades ago to seconds ago, and choose to be my very best this day.

Movement & Nutrition

I also choose to stay well hydrated, stay away from liquid devils (drinks with calories), and only ingest healthy foods into my body. I choose to love & respect my body giving it the proper treatment a Billion Dollar car would receive, as it is my Billion Dollar Miracle transportation on this journey of life. I will choose to drive it hard to it’s limits, and treat it with love respect all at the same time.

Listen, Read, Write

Today I choose to schedule time by myself with no distractions to read & listen to inspirational, motivational, and educational materials. I also choose to take time to write in a journal (and learn how to do it, if not sure how) to document conversations with myself. I will choose to not let the news & media distract me.

Energy Management
