This is just motivation.

We are all currently on a journey.

And I believe that the more conscious we are about it and the more choices we make consciously,

the better our journey is or the easier or the quicker it is that we get more rewards

or that we have better health.

You are not limited to just your physical form.

You are pure consciousness.

You are a divine, magnificent expression of life.

You are interconnected with every aspect of life.

And despite this, you are not subject to the influence of any other person, location,

or topic.

Because you are the only thinker that exists within your head.

You are the one who has the power to create.

And you are the one who has the final say in your life.

We are put on this planet with total freedom.

And we make these choices in our minds.

No person, place, or thing can think for us if we do not allow it.

We are the only person who thinks in our mind.

In our minds, we have total freedom.

What we choose to think and believe can change our current circumstances beyond recognition.

I am free to think wonderful thoughts.

I move beyond past limitations into freedom.

I am now becoming all that I am created to be.

I release all fears and doubts.

Fears and doubts are only delay mechanisms that keep us from having the good we say we want

in our lives.

So let them go.

I now choose to free myself from all destructive fears and doubts.

I accept myself and create peace in my mind and heart.

I am love and I am safe.

Divine wisdom guides me.

Too many of us are unaware that we have within us an inner wisdom that is always on our side.

We don't pay attention to our intuition and then we wonder why life does not work well.

Learn to listen to your inner voice.

You do know exactly what to do.

I am guided throughout this day in making right choices.

Divine intelligence continuously guides me in the realization of my goals and I am safe.

I love life.

Every morning when I wake up I get to experience another great day.

A day I've never lived before.

It will have its own special experiences and I'm glad to be alive.

It is my birthright to live fully and freely.

I give to life exactly what I want life to give to me.

I am glad to be alive.

I love life.

I love my body.

I'm so delighted to live in my wonderful body.

It has been given to me to use for the rest of my life and I cherish it and take loving

care of it.

My body is precious to me.

I love every inch of it inside and out.

That which I see and that which I don't see.

Every organ and gland, every muscle and bone, every single cell.

My body responds to this loving attention by giving me vibrant health and aliveness.

I create peacefulness in my mind and my body reflects this peacefulness as perfect health.

I turn every experience into an opportunity.

When I experience a problem and we all have them, I immediately say, out of this situation

only good will come.

This is easily resolved for the highest good of all concerned, all is well and I am safe.

I repeat this statement over and over.

It keeps me calm and allows the universe to find the best solution.

I am often amazed to see how quickly the issue can be resolved in a way that benefits

everyone.

Each problem has a solution.

All experiences are opportunities for me to learn and grow and I am safe.

I am at peace.

Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of peace, like a mountain like

deep and serene.

No person, place or other chaos can touch me when I am in this space.

In this space I am calm.

I think clearly I receive divine ideas and I am so peaceful.

Divine peace and harmony surround me and dwell in me.

I feel tolerance, compassion and love for all people, myself included.

So when we say human potential unleashing human potential, it is not about reaching the

peak, it is a trajectory because what our life is a combination of certain amount of time

and energy.

Time is rolling away for all of us at the same pace.

If you sit it rolls away, if you sleep it rolls away, if you do something it goes away,

if you don't do anything it goes away, you are happy or miserable, it goes away.

Time is running out for all of us, so it is only the energy that you can do different

things with.

If you bring your energies to a certain level of intensity and possibility, what somebody

does in ten years, you may do it in one year.

This means if you live here for one hundred years, it feels like in people's impact that

you have created it.

It feels like you lived here for a thousand years, simply because you have managed your

life energies in a certain way.

So for me, a human being being impactful means how conscious have you become.

This is very important because if you are in compulsive cycles, then your energy gets

wasted in so many things.

If you absorb people in a day, let's take twenty-four hours in that anyway.

Most people buy prescription in America, they sleep for eight hours.

So eight hours means one-third of life is gone.

In the remaining two-thirds, they have to eat.

They have to shower bathroom or this or that.

All this and other two-three hours gone.

So literally, fifty percent of life is gone daily basis just for basic maintenance of

this life.

Fifty percent of the time is gone in maintenance, remaining fifty percent what they have.

If you look at every single move that they may make with their body, their thought process,

their emotion,

you will see a whole lot of it is happening in the impulsive cycle.

Or in other words, if you are a little sensitive to life, you will realize you are the biggest

issue.

So this is one thing that I'm trying to do with people that you are never the issue

in your life.

I'm not the issue, my thought, my emotion, my body is never the issue.

My thought, my emotion, my energy, and my body are my instruments of function.

They are not impediments in my life, but I would say for ninety of the human beings,

their own body.

When the compulsions of the body, the compulsions of their thought, the compulsions of their emotions

are ruling the most of the time.

Attack the dawn.

It was early, always early, when Tony Morrison awoke to write.

In the dark, she would move quietly, making that first cup of coffee.

She'd sit at her desk in her small apartment, and as her mind cleared and the sun rose and

the light filled the room, she would write.

She did this for years, practicing this secular ritual used not just by writers, but by countless

busy and driven people for all time.

Writers all devise ways to approach that place where they expect to make the contact.

She'd later reflect where they become the conduit, or where they engage in this mysterious

process.

For me, light is the signal in the transition.

It's not being in the light.

It's being there before it arrives.

It enables me in some sense, but of course, it was as practical as it was spiritual.

Because at the beginning of her career, Morrison was also a single working mother of two

young boys.

Her job as an editor for Random House occupied her days.

Her children every other minute, and by the late evening, she was burned out, too tired

to think.

It was the precious early morning hours between the parting dark and the rising dawn, before

her boys uttered the word mama, before the pile of manuscripts from work demanded her attention,

before the commute, before the pond calls, before the bills beckoned, before the dishes needed

to be done.

It was then that she could be a writer.

Early, she was free.

Early, she was confident and clear-headed and full of energy.

Early, the obligations of life existed only in theory and not in fact, all that mattered,

all that was there was the story, the inspiration and the art.

There she was, starting her first novel in 1965, freshly divorced, 34 years old, and

struggling as one of the few black women in an incredibly white male industry.

But in her mind, this was the height of life.

She was no longer a child, and yet for all her responsibilities, everything was quite

simple.

Her kids needed her to be an adult.

So did her unfinished novel.

Wake up, show up, be present, give it everything you've got, which she did.

Even after the bluest eye was published to rave reviews in 1970, she followed it with

10 more novels, nine nonfiction works, five children's books, two plays, and short stories.

And she earned herself a national book award, a Nobel Prize, and a presidential medal.

Yet for all the plaudits, she must have been most proud of having done it while being

a great mother, a great working mother.

Of course, it's not exactly fun to wake up early.

Even the people who have reaped a lifetime of benefits from it still struggle with it.

You think you're not a morning person.

Nobody is a morning person, but at least in the morning we are free.

Hemingway would talk about how he'd get up early because there was no one to disturb

you, and it is cool or cold, and you come to your work and warm as you write.

Morrison found she was just more confident in the morning before the day had exacted its

toll, and the mind was fresh.

Like most of us, she realized she was just not very bright or very witty or very inventive

after the sun goes down.

Who can be?

After a day of banal conversations, frustrations, mistakes, and exhaustion.

Not that it's all about being clever.

There's a reason CEOs hit the gym early.

They still have willpower then.

There's a reason people read and think in the morning.

They know they might not get time later.

There's a reason coaches get to the facility before everyone else.

They can get a jump on the competition that way.

Be up and doing while you're fresh, while you can.

Grab that hour before daylight, grab that hour before traffic, grab it while no one is

looking while everyone else is still asleep.

When Marcus Aurelius' meditations, we hear the most powerful man in the world trying

to convince himself to get out of bed at dawn when the lower part of himself wants desperately

to stay.

Is this what I was created for?

He asks of his reluctance to huddle under the blankets and stay warm?

Yes, it is nicer under there.

But is that what we were born for?

To feel nice.

That's how you're going to spend the gift of life.

The gift of this present moment that you will never have again.

Don't you see the plants, the birds, the ants and the spiders and the bees going about their

individual tasks, putting the world in order as best they can.

He said to himself but also to us.

And you're not willing to do your job as a human being.

Why aren't you running to do what your nature demands?

That here we are, thousands of years later, still hitting the snooze button on our alarms.

Here we are wasting the most productive hours of the day, choosing to reject these moments

before the interruptions, before the distractions, before the rest of the world gets up and going

too, passing on the opportunity to gather our flowering potential while it's freshest,

still shining with morning dew.

I think Christ has recommended rising early in the morning by rising from his grave very

early observed the theologian Jonathan Edwards in the 1720s.

Is that why quiet mornings seem so holy?

Perhaps it's that we're tapping into the traditions of our ancestors who also rose early

to pray, to farm, to fetch water from the river or the well, to travel across the desert

before the sun got too hot.

When you have trouble waking up, when you find it hard, remind yourself of who you come

from, remind yourself of the tradition, remind yourself of what is at stake.

Think as Morrison did of her grandmother who had more children and an even harder life.

Think of Morrison herself who certainly did not have it easy and still got up early.

Think of how lucky you are.

Be glad to be awake, because it's better than the alternative, which we'll all greet

one day.

Feel the joy of being able to do what you love, cherish the time, but most of all, use

it.
