Creating Your Future

Imagine waking up every day at 5:59 a.m. to Sonny & Cher belting out “I Got You Babe” on your clock radio. Now imagine that every morning is February 2nd! That was Bill Murray’s fate in the 1993 comedy hit, Groundhog Day.

On location in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the cynical TV weatherman played by Murray seems doomed to spend eternity living the same day over and over.

The movie was a fantasy. Or was it? If we’re not intentional with our time and habits, it can feel like we’re also trapped in an endless loop of activity. Maybe you’ve heard people complain about their life as “same stuff, different day.”

Not me. Every morning when I wake up, I exercise the gift of creating my future — designing how I will live today. That creation begins with my thoughts and beliefs, and then is acted on by performing my daily habits.

What's your morning routine? In my book, Replace Retirement - Living Your Legacy in the Exponential Age, I write about how establishing a daily rhythm can help you achieve your goals. Learn more in my recent blog.
