Hallelujah, it’s a good day to start
Why?
Because I decided to.

But my day was already good before. Why?

- Every time I get up
- Every time I am healthy
- Every time I see my wife and kids still sleeping peacefully
- Every time….
“Every time”, I learned this secret from..
Tony Robbins in Awaken the Giant. A rule can make you stronger or weaker.
“it quickly became clear to me that the majority of people are wired for pain. Their rules make it very, very difficult to feel good, and very easy to feel bad.”

How to create simple rules that help you win every day.
- List the values that are important to you. Happiness, love, appreciation, curiosity, enthusiasm, determination…

- Create simple rules (start with “Every time”) that depend on your control (“Internal Locus”)
Don’t study intentionality, live it…
