This morning I was up just before dawn began to slip its soft orange
glow over the eastern horizon. And even though the weather has grown colder and
the days a bit cloudier, I still enjoy being up early and sitting with my first
cup of coffee, watching the world around me come to life. There's just something
solid as well as invigorating in being up early when the day actually begins.
I see those moments
watching the sun come up a great start to my day, and it's a ritual I rarely
depart from. Today, there is a lesson that I learnt – Your willingness to give
up a bit of shut-eye for the personal satisfaction of doing something you truly
enjoy can pay off in better physical and emotional health. If you're a night
owl – there are reasons for making the switch.
Nature prescribes change – to grow from within. People often change for two reasons. It can be either that you have
learned enough that you want to change or you have been hurt enough that you
see the need to. I hope you'll take a few minutes to value yourself and follow the
prescription – to be a better you!
