Let me ask you something.

You have big plans for your life, right? A vision? A goal? An ultimate outcome for what you’d like to achieve? Big dreams? Lofty aspirations?

I’d wager you do.

And what are you doing to make it all happen?

Are you working on your dreams every day? Are you laying down your foundation piece by piece, brick by brick, slowly watching it all manifest before your eyes? Can you feel it all coming to life?

If not, I’ve got some good news for you

And if you’ve been struggling to find a way (or the time) to make meaningful progress on your goals, this will be the beacon of light you’ve been looking for.

But first things first…

You CAN do this — don’t for a single moment doubt that you can. And the reason it hasn’t happened for you already isn’t because of your inability, it’s because or your commitment. We’re going to change that today.

Because here’s the thing…

Your dreams aren’t built overnight. You know that, right? They take time. Patience. Commitment. They’re something you chisel into shape over time like a beautiful Greek statue made from a solid piece of marble.

They’re the product of sustained and intentional work — your sustained and intentional work. And they manifest through your own labor of love.

So the first thing you need to do is find time to do the work.

And the perfect time to do the work is right before you do anything else.

Dreams first, everything else later. That’s how you ensure that you make daily progress. That’s how you guarantee that you’ll get there — because you keep inching forward every single day.

If you’ve been following along with my morning routine, you’ll know that it goes something like this: Move, Meditate, Marinate, and Mantras.

But there’s one more step in that morning routine — the final step. And it’s through this step that you actually build your dreams into reality.

And that final step is MISSION.

That’s right…. before you do anything else — before you get swept away with all your work and other commitments — dedicate time to your Mission first.

Your dreams, your goals, your aspirations… the ultimate vision you have for your life — this is your Mission. And it’s by far the most important thing you can ever work on.

So here’s what you need to do…

Devote 30 minutes to an hour each morning to your Mission. Day after day, month after month, year after year. Wake up, plug into your morning routine, and end that routine by working on your Mission. Then (and only then) should you carry on with the rest of your day.

This is the single most effective way to bring your dreams into reality.

Slowly but surely, your work will compound into something tangible. You’ll begin to see it. You’ll begin to feel it. And you’ll begin to recognize how much your small daily commitment is paying off. When you finally reach this point, nothing will able to stop you. Your success will then be guaranteed.

Such is the power of working on your Mission first. Commit to this and I promise you’ll be reaping the harvest before you know it.

Halt right there!
