Speech is conveniently located midway between thought and action, where it often substitutes for both.

Greet the day

Start early to set a positive direction for the day. Lock yourself solidly onto a purposeful track and make it nearly impossible for anything to knock you off that track.

Right off the bat, establish a pattern of effective action. Continue adding to that action to create unstoppable momentum.

You’re going to spend the first minutes of the day doing one thing or another. So decide to invest that initial time in a way that gives you an advantage for the entire remainder of the day.

Begin with a positive, purposeful thought. Then immediately act on that thought.

Nudge yourself to get fired up about what you can do with the time in front of you. That’s a whole lot better than getting bogged down in worry and doubt.

Activate the power of your intention to put yourself ahead before any outside influences have a chance to push you behind. Greet the day with high energy, with the best of expectations, and delight in discovering all the good you can do with it.
