My calendar wasn't reflective of my values.

So I began to change that.

And then the other piece of the puzzle that happened, not just from that book, although he talks about it and a lot of people do, The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod is another great one that I gleaned onto.

I realized that for me, if I just woke up every day

and tried to live that out, it wasn't going to happen.

The world had many times successfully derailed me throughout my career, throughout my life.

And so that's when I said, I've got to own myself in the mornings and then during the day.

So I've sat down and worked on a routine

that I was gonna commit to on a daily basis of things I was gonna do to put me in the best position to defend myself from when the world came at me.

So to me, getting clear on those values and actually writing those down and then starting to come up with a routine that would allow me to, listen, I'm not 100% successful.

I'm not 100% of my routine.

I fail still on a regular basis, but my routine gave me the best chance of success every day.

And at that time too, Ryan, it was,

I can't take a chance because of what I'm dealing with to try to help my son get through what he's dealing with.

It's one thing to let my team down at work.

It's one thing to not sell another insurance policy.

It's a whole other thing to take a chance on the way my day goes and when it impacts my son and my daughter and my other son.

And that became how I began to move in that direction.

Yeah, it's great.

The way that I frame that in my mindset over the last, really very recently, but I think it's just I've been recently able to kind of describe and define how I was doing it before, right?
