I never was a morning person until I started working. Hunting, fishing, all of the activities I enjoy… a lot of them require getting up before the sun comes up, in the pre-dawn hours. But not until I started my career did I have a new appreciation for getting myself up and going early every day.
A few years ago, through the ups and downs of career, life, and all of the issues you run into and out of on a daily basis, I gained a new mindset. Every day is like a blank page. It’s a way to get to start over. You can start your day as positive as you want to be, as enthusiastic as you want to be, no matter what happened to you the day before. Regardless of what issues you went to bed thinking about, as you get started with the sun coming up and you get your mind ready to tackle the day, you have to look at it like every day is a blank page. And at the end of that day, what you do is on that page.
I’ve adopted that mindset, and it’s been very beneficial for me. As I start out each and every new day, I just can’t help but love the chance of getting to write another day in history with something meaningful that I have had an impact on in this world.
