There is not one simple formula for success or reaching your goals. Getting up early when everyone else still asleep ? Might work for you, not necessarily for everybody else. Some people do their best creative thinking in the evening, or after lunch, or after walking their dog in the mornings. You can’t copy and paste somebody’s formula for success into your life because the circumstances might be different for you than for somebody else. What we can do every day, is prepare physically and mentally, for whatever your goal or your idea of success is. Don’t beat yourself down if you didn’t read today. Just read tomorrow. Learn from what happened today and avoid making the same mistakes tomorrow. Like Seth Godin says “Tomorrow comes daily, but we don’t have to take the same route to get there”.
