What are you doing before sunrise today? It’s 557am today and if you have huge aspirations, you had better be putting something in catching the greatest time the day.

You could have been up for a walk by then, seeing amazing views over burry port, llanelli, carmarthen or wherever you live.

You could be planning what you need to do to make your passion better. If you want to become a better, you could be practicing your swing, to be better fighter would be studying technique and mindset in the ring/cage, to feel better full stop, you would be out and doing something or on a mat in front of the TV getting fired up with your exercise.

For me, it’s up the mountain catching a great sunset over burry port, i want to catch that great sunset!!! I am taking my camcorder to get a better time lapse effect for our videos, amazing opportunity that ONLY comes once a day.

If you can’t sleep, put that time to positive use and DO something that will make your life better, plan your great future, plan roadmap of what’s going to take you there, what are the unavoidable things you have to do to be great at what you do? It may be uncomfortable but every great journey needs planning so you can go out and grab the great things you really want!!!

Time for action before the sun comes up!!!!

The way you do one thing is the way you do everything. If you get up early every morning of the week, then it’s tough to lay in the weekend, nor do you often want to. Saturday is often my earliest start despite it being my day off.

You can’t be negative every day and then the weekend be a positive influence on others.

You can’t make incremental positive changes to your life by training one day, then having a week off, then training two days, then having two weeks off, it doesn’t work like that and this haphazard approach will often affect all areas of your life too.

You have to see the opportunities that come your way and take them, they are always there each and every day and you CAN create a massive difference to your life and take them, and get used to taking them. The more you take, the more suddenly appear because it’s a chain reaction of chances in life, but you have to LOOK first.

We had 30 seconds in the supermarket filming yesterday because tracey john and i wanted the opportunity to inspire everyone to eat well. I didn’t have 8 weeks to get a reply yes or no from a national manager, we did it and the inspiration goes out today helping everyone out and tracey becomes a further beacon of hope for those who think they can’t.

I have done the same thing with Shelley Johns and i did the same in 2006 with the BBC in Tesco’s (this time with a 8 weeks wait for a written reply Diane Griffiths and approval!!)

Sometimes you have to back yourself to create greater good, and if you want to create help for others, very often the world wants to help you out and it wont stop you if you are sincere.

Practice getting up early daily, you will get more done. Practice helping others, it will reward you in many ways unexpectedly but never look for praise for it, it’s what you are put on earth for.

Opportunities are the greatest in history right now, forget Trump and idiots like that, switch off TV and FB more often, the most exciting time in YOUR world is here RIGHT NOW i promise you, so make proper time available to take them and open your mind to what can be achieved through YOUR actions..

Your reaction to doubt and adversity is vitally important, and will ultimately save you a lot of time and emotions.

When you get a knock back, get completely knocked down or even out, it’s your response that matters. Contrary to the always positive messages i send out, i usually get at least one disappointment every day, things didn’t work out, opportunities didn’t materialise and now and again get knocked down.

Dwelling on it is our first reaction. Then sitting on it for a few days is sometimes our next move. Before we know it, we are out of motivation to do anything about it, and the chances of coming back strong are filled with doubt and a lack of self-belief we can do anything about it.

The habit of bouncing back is a habit, you have to do something about it that day. However desperate circumstances seem, you must fight back. You must make yourself feel better, and exercise will turn the corner for you quicker than anything there is. It may not solve the problem, but it will put you in a more positive mindset to make better decisions on how to tackle it.

Think of the people around you who RELY on you bouncing back, they really do. They are waiting your next move, your next conversation and they often expect courage from you even when all seems lot.

Whatever your situation, you need to take action now. There has GOT to be a way out of it, there has to be a way that if you just take action now, life will begin to seem better tomorrow, however small in the beginning.

There are many times i don’t want to take the dogs out tomorrow morning, but here’s some truth, i ALWAYS get great ideas on that walk, i always get fresh thinking time, my brain always comes alive on those walks, it is 100% a “has to happen” part of my day.

I know i HAVE to do that walk because a lot of people want me to be fired up every day and bring something new to the table.

Here’s the news, people are depending on YOU, and you will either become that shining light leader for those around you in times of difficulty, or you become the one that sets the domino effect going in the wrong direction which sets off a spiral you really do want.

People rely on you, take decisive action now and move forward and take charge of the circumstances you CAN control.
