— 2 — The Miracle Morning Origin: Born Out of Desperation Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only
those who can leave behind everything they have ever
believed in can hope to escape.

To make profound changes in your life, you need
either inspiration or desperation.

I ’ve been fortunate to hit what you might call “rock bottom”
twice in my relatively short life. I say fortunate because it was the
growth I experienced and the lessons I learned—during the most
challenging times in my life—that have enabled me to become the
person I’ve needed to be to create the life that I’ve always wanted. I
am grateful to use not only my successes, but also my failures, to help
others in a way that can empower them to overcome their own
limitations and achieve more than they ever thought possible.
