This morning my phone died while I was sleeping causing my alarm to not go off at 5:29 am (I’ve moved my time up 11 minutes so I’m now waking up closer to 4 am than I am 6 am) and instead I naturally woke up a 7:20 am.
As someone who LOVES Mondays (it’s the start of a new week which means more opportunities for awesomeness to happen) I was disappointed in losing those two hours.
I’m very strict with my morning routine so losing those two hours meant I was going to get less done than I'd ideally like today (a by-product being not getting this Monday Morning email until after noon.)
My day started and I hit the gym (made my 10 free throws in a row), ate breakfast, then was off to 1871 Chicago (the tech incubator I work out of) for an hour long mentoring session with a marketing guy.
The mentoring session ending up spitting hot fire and I feel like I just nailed four in a row from way downtown at NBA Jam.
And that’s when the lesson hit me.
Focus on the future and don’t worry about the past.
Yes it sucks that I lost two hours of my day that I normally have.
Instead of dwelling on it I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that the rest of my day is amazing.
The only person who loses by my day not being amazing is me and I have complete control over that.
I’ve now got the positive momentum from this mentoring session plus sending out this email to catapult me off in the right direction.
Just like that I’m beyond excited for the rest of the day.
Here’s to hoping the rest of your Monday is boomshakalaka amazing.
