“Change is hard. Logically, we know what we should do, but our feelings about doing it make our decision for us. How you feel in the moment is almost never aligned with your goals and dreams. If you only act when you feel like it, you will never get what you want.

“So I made myself a simple promise: If I knew that I should do something that could change me for the better, then I would use the Rule to push myself to do it, regardless of how I felt.” 

“Most of us don’t even realize how often we hesitate because we’ve done it so often that it’s become a habit.” 

“Either you run the day or the day runs you.” 

“Using the Rule strengthens your belief that you do have the ability to control your own fate—because you are proving it to yourself one push at a time.” 

“If you can get up on time, start your day powerfully, plan ahead, think about your goals, and focus on yourself, all before you get bogged down in your daily routine, then you will simply accomplish more. This is the first step to taking control of your life.” 

“That moment of hesitation is a killer. Hesitation sends a stress signal to your brain. It’s a red flag that signals something’s wrong—and your brain goes into protection mode. This is how we are wired to fail. Think about this for a minute.” 

“You aren’t supposed to be stuck. You are supposed to be doing something amazing with your life.”
