4. Don’t be afraid to craft a daily routine that’s right for YOU.
“If your life is going to mean anything, you have to live it yourself. You have to choose the path that feels right to YOU, not the one that simply looks right to everyone else. It’s always better to be at the bottom of the ladder you want to climb, than the top of the one you don’t. So don’t wait until you’re halfway up the wrong ladder to listen to your intuition. Every morning, ask yourself what is truly important, and then find the courage, wisdom and willpower to build your day around your answer.
In the end, it’s not what you say, but how you spend your time that counts. If you want to do something, you’ll find a way… if you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” (Angel and I discuss this in more detail in the Rituals chapter of our New York Times bestseller, Getting Back to Happy: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Reality, and Turn Your Trials into Triumphs.)
Routine is really good for me. My Father was a United States Army Colonel, he was a structured man. Our home was structured, but it was comforting. Later in life when I decided to become a Special Education teacher, I was reminded how valuable structure is to those who are physically and intellectually challenged. You had to keep chaos away from their daily routine.
Choosing a daily path that is right for you is so important in attaining and keeping happiness in your life.
Pay attention to that last sentence above. “If you want to do something, you’ll find a way . . . if you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.”
No excuses!! Go find your path, live your life, and watch how all around you fall into place.
