The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)

Consider the Following:
Ö
Physically—Obesity  is  an  epidemic.  Potentially
fatal  diseases  like  cancer  and  heart  disease  are  on  the
rise.  The  average  person  is  exhausted,  their  physical
energy  levels  at  an  all  time  low.  Most  can’t  seem  to
generate enough energy to make it through a single day
without  consuming  a  few  cups  of  coffee  or  a 5-Hour
Energy®  drink.  The  success  of  that  product  is  further
evidence  of  the  degree  to  which  people  are  struggling
physically.
Ö
Mentally  and  Emotionally—More  prescription
drugs  are  being  consumed  every  day  in  an  attempt  to
combat  disorders  like  depression,  anxiety,  and
countless  other  mental  or  emotional  illnesses.  Rarely
do  you  turn  on  the  TV  without  seeing  an  ad  for  some
prescription  drug.  There’s  usually  some  good  looking
middle-aged  couple,  flying  a  kite  on  the  beach  with
their dog. Then a man with a deep voice starts speaking
gently,  rattling  off  symptoms,  followed  by  a  list  of
potential  side  effects: “Do  you  ever  feel  tired,  sad,
lonely,  depressed,  overweight,  or  anything  else  that
you’d  be  willing  to  pay  money  to  not  feel  anymore?
Great, you’re in luck—XYZ drug can help! Warning:
may  cause  side  effects  such  as  bloating,  constipation,
diathermia,  dizziness,  dry  mouth,  dandruff,  insomnia,
narcolepsy, and many other things far worse than what
it’s actually supposed to help you with. So, don’t wait
—call the number on your screen today!”

Ö
Relationally—It’s  well  known  that  there  is  an
epidemic  of  divorce  in  America,  with  one  in  two
marriages  failing.  In  other  words,  over  half  of  those
deeply  in  love  couples,  who  stand  before  their  friends
and  family  and  commit  their  lives  to  each  other
—through the good times and the bad, might I remind
you—struggle  to  make  it  work.  After  more  than  30
years  of  marriage,  two  of  my  favorite  people—my
mom  and  dad—recently  divorced.  I’m  very  present  to
the pain of this all too common relational struggle.
Ö
Financially—Americans  have  more  personal  debt
than  at  any  other  time  in  history.  Most  people  aren’t
earning  nearly  as  much  money  as  they’d  like  to  be
earning.  They’re  spending  too  much,  not  saving
enough, and struggling financially.

It’s  no  secret  that  most  people  are  living  life  far  below  their
potential. Once we can acknowledge that, it’s crucial that we explore
what causes most people to struggle and settle for mediocrity in their
lives.
