Day 7.....starting to sink in

It has been a week now of morning and evening "ax sharpening" and new commitment to making it all happen. Ax sharpening is from a quote by Abraham Lincoln..."If you give me 6 hours to chop down a tree, I will spend the first 4 sharpening the ax." I am beginning to settle into it. I get up every am at 5 or 6, depending on the day. I have not viewed myself as a "morning person", It does feel great to get up before the sun and start the day powerfully. Today, was Yoga day, which I did with my wife Marie at 5:30 am. We were dragging a bit and, we got through it and felt great after...well, I did anyway :) After a week, I can already feel it beginning to become habitual. It takes time to develop a habit...especially empowering, beneficial ones. when I don't feel like getting up that early or doing one of my daily disciplines, I just remind myself that I am growing. That growth is allowing me to be more effective in this world, with the people closest to me and to move towards my goals.
