“Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as to think.” - Robin Sharma
Here we are in the last quarter of 2023, which is quite hard to believe. Many of us have experienced major shifts over the last 9 months. As I reflect on my own personal shifts, I can’t help but feel a great amount of gratitude for the awareness and the impact of persistence and mindfulness this year has brought me.
For this month’s newsletter I am sharing Robins Sharma’s 5 Acts of character training (Author of “The 5 am Club”). I know it may not be as simple to take on all 5 but I challenge you to start with one or two a week. Journal the shifts in mood and how you feel within. Study the changes in your spirit and productivity as you start practicing some of these acts. I would love to hear what you find!
5 Acts of Character Training
1. Write a letter of gratefulness to someone who deserves to be recognized. Every person alive today craves sincere appreciation. Handwriting a letter to a good soul is a gift you both get to receive.
2. Read from a profound book. We live in a world where very few go deep. We seek informal news in bite-sized chunks and scroll our feeds in hot pursuit of glitter. Before 9AM, sit quietly and read from a great human’s autobiography or from a text of philosophy. To ground you on what’s important, before you live out your day.

3. See your highest life. Take 5 minutes, with your eyes closed, to imagine yourself behaving and performing as the person you most long to be. Make the movie vivid and colorful and real. Overtime—as yourself identify rewires—you’ll begin to inhabit the life you’ve invented.
4. Perform an act of generosity. Before 9AM every day, do one tiny gesture to make someone’s life a little better. It could be a smile to a stranger or a hug to your child. Paying for the coffee of the person in line behind you or thanking the bus driver.
5. Turn off your phone until 9AM daily. The early morning hours have deep magic within them. Life’s too short to miss this glory because you’re addicted to technology.
I love teaching what I learn!
Sending Love & Light,

1 年Such valuable insights Sarah Abdolrazek. I like the no 3 point. When we take the time to see ourselves living our dream lives, it not only inspires us but also helps align our actions with our aspirations.
