Don’t count the days, make the days count…

You want to count. Count something worth counting. Count how many times you got back up, not the times you fell. You want to count. Count the times you succeeded, count the times when you were at your best; count when good deeds were done; count the times when people were fair, honest, and kind.

If you counted more wrong than right, more evil than good, more hatred than kindness then perhaps you count was off…off of what’s worth counting.
In the past you have heard us talk about the importance of “today,” that your life is the sum of your todays and that you must get off your anatomy, and put your goals into action.

Well here is one more step, one more tool, because motivation is like a shower, you need it daily or you get dirty and lose it!

So what is the trick? What is the magical sequence that will make all of your dreams come true?

Answer: this question, how many days until your next BIRTHDAY?
- Maybe it’s a big birthday, you surely know the number of days
How many DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS
How many Days UNTIL School is OUT?? Students, you all have this one down…

What you are doing is something that we all do all too often, it is a trap that leads us to believe that we are preparing for the future when actually we are simply counting the days, and “going through the motions.”

This is where we have gone WRONG.

“Don’t count the days, MAKE THE DAYS COUNT.”

STUDENTS, if you want A’s
if you want to retain what you learn
if YOU want to be SMARTER!!

Start focusing on the day, the process, and the outcome will take care of itself. When you get lost in focusing on the moment and “being here NOW” you lose track of time, you get more done, you get dialed in and find that you are on auto pilot, cruising through work or work outs, you are IN THE ZONE. When you develop a routine and make this a habit you become many things:
you become smarter,

stronger,

more prepared…

I can go on and on…

if you get stuck counting down the days/hours/minutes and seconds, you will do none of the above, in fact… YOU will do the OPPOSITE.

“Don’t count the days, MAKE THE DAYS COUNT.”
