Step 50. The 50th day of my journey, and never before have I stuck to something like I have this time. It’s now feeling like a way of life as well as a journey, and it’s a way of life I’m enjoying.

I noticed that yesterday was a struggle, and I wisely finished the day writing about this in my pad of paper by the bed. Just that process of unloading thoughts and ideas really helps clear the head and regain focus. I realised that despite maintaining the routine, the reason was getting forgotten. The reason was the catalyst at the start of the journey and enabled the small steps to be taken, the habits to be formed. Last night was the time to remember the reason and to prevent the low performance day becoming a low performance week. It made me realise I need to be effective with my days. To maintain quality focus on the task in hand.

I’m starting today with renewed enthusiasm, energy, and purpose. I shall value my time — when I considered my goals last night, I realised how much each hour is worth.

Let’s put those hours to work!
