It began out of frustration.
My life was stuck in a downward spiral of
hard work, dislikes, and have to's. I had lost my passion for the business.
The question was, "what one thing can you change today
to raise your frequency to help pull yourself and other people up?"
I thought for a moment and said,
"I guess I could meditate. I used to meditate.
But my life is so busy, my business feels so out of control, I don't have the time."
"What if you got up at 5:00 AM to meditate?"
I thought about it. There is no way I could wake up at 5:00 AM every day. Don't even ask me.
"What if you commit to meditate for 21 days?
One day at a time, for 21 days, you get up at 5:00 AM, meditate, and then write your inspirational thought for the day."
"I guess I could do that. For 21 days."
"Good. Then pick a dozen or so friends, and every morning after you write in your journal, send them the post."
I saw what was happening.
Action
Commitment
Accountability
So I agreed to reinvent myself every morning, to get in touch with my passion, for 21 days.
And so I joined the 5:00 AM Club
and the passion party was born.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
