5 AM Club: Own Your Morning & Elevate Your Life


"The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning and Elevate Your Life", 
is written by Robin Sharma.

Many of the principles that Sharma presents, are principles that I also use in my life. This is a brief summary, from my perspective, of Sharma's work:

A Daily Philosophy on Becoming Legendary, pages 3-10

Life's too short to play small with your talents.

Your personal leadership requires- no demands- that you stop being a cyber-zombie relentlessly attracted to digital devices and restructure your life to model mastery, exemplify decency and relinquish the self-centeredness that keeps good people limited.

The great women and men of the world were all givers, not takers.

...create a private life strong in ethics, rich with marvelous beauty and unyielding when it comes to the protection of your inner peace.

You need to remember that your excuses are seducers, your fears are liars and your doubts are thieves.

I need to tell you that too many among us die at thirty and are buried at eighty.

Nothing is wrong at this moment, even if it feels like everything's falling apart.

If you sense your life's a mess right now, this is simply because your fears are just a little stonger than your faith.  With practice, you can turn down the volume of the voice of your scared self.

From a young age, we are programmed into thinking that moving through life loyal to the values of mastery, ingenuity and decency should need little effort.  And so, if the road gets tough and requires some patience, we think we're on the wrong path.

Walking into the very things that scare you is how you reclaim your forgotten power.  And how you get back the innocence and awe you lost after childhood.
