As I sat at the dentist today I thought of my daily routine. It's full of disciplined actions calculated to make me more useful to others.
An influential friend once taught me how to maximize each day. And for the last 22 years I have worked at it.
Each day I start with an hour long Spiritual devotional. Sometimes I listen and other times I read to uplifting literature.
Then on my daily commute I listen to part of a transformational book. It may be Percy Jackson, a Seth Godin book, Eat to Live, or Heir to a Dream.
During the work-day I listen to one complete book.
When I need creativity I turn to Pandora while I generate, curate and synthesize ideas. Ideas flow freely when I have inspirational music alternated with pure silence.
On my lunch break I spend 45 minutes at Golds Gym. Cardio, weights, and stretching are my three key focuses. Five or six workouts each week with a week off every few weeks.
Then in the evening I seek to unplug and relax with my family. The six of us eat together most nights. We talk, attend Scouts, visit with friends and read.
Many people wonder how I read/listen to 200 or more books a year, travel several times a year and keep fit.
The secret lies in being inspired by a higher power and then doing daily disciplines that shape my destiny.
A friend shared his formula with me. And now I share it with you: daily develop your body, mind, Spirit and relationships.
Your life will transform into greatness streaming from your small acts of greatness.
