Challenge Update: Didn’t Hear the Alarm Day. Ugh. Three days in a row without success. I can feel it eating away at my resolve. It’s time for some reminders of motivation.
If you have an hour, will you not improve that hour, instead of idling it away?
Lord Chesterfield
Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow.
Doug Firebaugh
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
Robert Collier
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.
Vince Lombardi
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore,
is not an act but a habit.

Improve Your Life: If you (like me) are having difficulty getting up in the morning, try a different set up for your alarm lock. Perhaps you need to purchase a new one, with a louder or different alarm sound, or perhaps you should move yours to a different location (where the snooze button is out of your arm’s reach). You could also try getting an alarm that will play cds, and burn one on your computer with songs that help motivate you. Little changes can make a big difference.
Be Open-Minded: Are you taking responsibility for the “little failures” in your day? It is easy to put blame on circumstances or other people, but it is only in taking responsibility that you find the power to change.
