So I woke up this morning in desperate need of a huge cup of coffee...
Each and every morning my girlfriend's alarm clock goes off at some ungodly hour. My reaction? I burrow further into the duvet; praying that if I can cloak myself in its cosy embrace then I can hide from the day.
It never works. Usually, she ruthlessly pulls the covers off me. Leaving me exposed to the horrors which are present only before 8am. As always, my first response, well second after I cry a little, is to reach for coffee.
I've become a bit over reliant on coffee recently. It's much easier to reach for that cup of 'get-up-and-go' rather than find an inner source of inspiration to kick today's ass.
Unsurprisingly, like all the food and drink I love it seems, coffee isn't all that good for you. So I decided to find another way to give myself that morning motivation. If you struggle in the mornings too, get up and join me in stripping butt naked in front of the mirror and chanting these quotes from super successful people. (The nakedness is optional, chanting in mandatory ;) )
Without a doubt, you'll be as pumped to face the day as this guy is to do whatever the hell he is doing!
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else´s life.” - Steve Jobs
"It always seems impossible until it's done." - Nelson Mandela
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started" - Mark Twain
A cheeky favourite of mine:
"It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.” - Dumbledore
Who'd have guessed that Dumbledore would make the list, ey?
Feel better? Me too. I now pronounce you ready to face the day. Go and kick some ass!
P.S maybe chant quieter next time, my neighbour wasn't happy with my morning antics! I ended up getting one of these through the walls...
Peace.x
