Just Wake Up on Time;

Habits are the building blocks of success or failure. Our lives are the summation of the actions we take, and the actions we choose to take every day are those that define our lives.

Professional writers are remarkable; we can all learn quite a bit from Stephen King. Stephen King writes 2,500 words each and every day, without fail. He forces himself, sits down at the word processor, and pushes through writing. Some days he does not feel like writing, others day he feels like it. But regardless of how he feels, Stephen King completes his writing.

That habit speaks for itself. If you had to guess, how many novels would you guess Stephen King had written? King has published 54 novels, including 7 under the pen name Richard Bachman, and six non-fiction books. That production is remarkable. Stephen King is a writer. He doesn’t try to be a writer, he writes.

So what do you want to be? Don’t be a runner, be running. Don’t be a writer, be writing. Do what you are. Here’s how to start. Tomorrow morning, wake up one hour earlier than you typically do, and spend that hour doing whatever it is you want to become. Don’t be something, do something. Just wake up on time.

It’s easy spend an hour working towards your goal; beware it’s so easy, it’s also easy to skip it. Make sure your habits reflect what you want your life to become.
