The Routine before the Reward.

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on my morning routine. 

During my fine-tuning process, one of the things I’ve noticed, is how much my morning routine is impacted by my evening routine. 

What happens before matters. 

If I go to bed late. 

Doomed. 

If I eat late. 

Doomed. 

The day becomes weak. 

And the weeks becomes months.

And the months become a year.

A year in which I did not getting better. 

Routine first. Reward after. 

I think generosity works in a similar way. 

Before the moment.

At night I go to bed full of gratitude. 

And when the morning comes..

How could I not be a more generous person? 

This becomes my giving routine.

My before the moment. 

In the midst of a giving opportunity, consciously, and sometimes unconsciously, your decision will be based on what came before. 

How were you raised? 

What beliefs were you taught? 

What results have you seen? 

Think of the most generous person you know, they didn’t magically wake up that way. 

Their success is in the before moments. 

Routine first. Reward after.

(You are not doomed.)
