Ep. 51 - Built Men: Winning the Morning (Part 4 of 8)

I'm not sure how you're doing, but I'd ask you to do a self-audit, analyze, you know, the details of what you do in the mornings.

So important.

This is scripture right here we just read.

"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning." If God's not hearing your voice, I think it's breaking his heart.

I think he's sitting there just waiting for you to say, "Good morning, God.

[sighs] Thank you for breath.

Thank you for coffee.

I need you today.

I don't want to do life without you, 'cause it's hard, and I, I don't think I can." And just start talking to him.

[lips smack] How you start the day sets the tone.

Mornings, they reveal your priorities.

Winners, I want to be a winner, we're built early in the morning with our daily disciplines.

We don't stumble throughout the day.

We know what we're gonna do.

It's predictable because we're starting to follow through with what we say we're gonna do.

[lips smack] And then we make a mistake, and we get back up and keep going, right? I don't know if anybody ever gets it perfect for years in a row, but we have a, a process that if we invest and we get back up and we do it again, we're gonna get better at it.

[lips smack] So why do the mornings matter? The morning, it decides the pace for the day.

If I hit snooze and I get up late, I'm gonna be in traffic angry at everybody.

If I don't hit snooze and I get up early and I leave 10, 15 minutes before I need to, you can cut me off.

It won't bother at all.

It won't, won't bother me.

But with this, I've got to create that margin in my day by my choice on what time I get up.

So if it's 7, 6, 5, 4, you do you and figure out what that looks like.

[lips smack] But the main thing I learned in this, and I'll keep reading the notes, but if I'm gonna win the morning, [lips smack] I need to win the night.
