An attitude of gratitude is something earned—not given.
Too many people wake up and submit to whatever mood their mind just so happens to be in and lazily and hastily deploy from that headspace for the entire rest of their day.
And what a waste on precious moments this can be.
Mindset investment, especially first thing in the morning, is one of the most crucial investments in your day.
Think about it.
Bad mood x All of the moments of your day = A ton of counterproductive, close-minded, lost opportunity minutes.
But, Bad mood x 20 Minutes of mindset investment = Better mood (maybe not great mood, but better for sure). And Better mood x All of the moments of your day = many more productive, open-minded, gained opportunity minutes.
See, you have to change your mind about not having 20 minutes in the morning for your mind.
When every other moment of your day depends on the mood / perception of your mind, you have to make up your mind that you can’t not have 20 minutes in the morning for your mind.
The entire rest of your day depends on it.
