The one book you need to make 2024 your best year ever
This book has transformed my daily life in surprising ways!
2023 is at its last breath.
For most of us, it’s been a hard one. The news are overwhelming. We are slowly coming out of the pandemic, but it’s still lingering. We are trying our best to return to a normal life. The economy is struggling.
Every day we face a choice. To despair or to take our life back.
I choose the latter.
What if your best life started in your early mornings?
In 2014, I had just come out of a 3-year medical leave.
I wanted to get back to myself after struggling with severe depression. I had to file for bankruptcy because I was unable to work to pay the bills. And my medication had left me 100 pounds overweight.
One day, I was listening to a podcast and a phrase I heard shook me to the core.
Hitting the snooze button every morning is like hating to wake up, but doing it over and over again.
It struck me.
I had been snoozing my way through every morning of my life, heading out the door in a rush with barely enough time to make myself presentable. And it sucked. I was stressed and unhappy, often groggy at my desk. It had to stop.
Discovering the morning routine that would change my life
The author of the above quote is a man called Hal Elrod.
At 21 years old, he was hit head-on by a drunk driver and died for 6 minutes. He then spiralled into a coma and was told he’d never walk again. A few years later, he ran an ultramarathon.
Hal’s story is absolutely unbelievable. It’s a story of resilience, faith and perseverance. I heard it so many times over the years, listening to every interview I could find, and yet his persistence still moves me.
Years later, in the 2008 recession, Hal lost everything. He, too, had to file for bankruptcy. He became severely depressed.
He called his best friend out of despair and asked for advice. His friend said, “Go for a run”. Not believing that his problems would lift off by mere exercise but still willing to try anything, Hal put on a podcast and set out for his run. He heard a phrase that changed his life:
Your level of success will rarely exceed your level of personal development because success is something you attract by the person you become. - Jim Rohn
Creating a new framework for success
Hearing that phrase shook Hal to his core (like it had happened to me hearing him speak).
He set out to research personal development online. He studied the habits of the most successful people. And he found a pattern.
Most of the successful persons he studied practiced one of 6 personal development habits on a daily basis. Hal got an idea. “What if I combined these 6 practices into one ritual?” And also wondered. “When should I do these?”
He decided to implement his ritual first thing in the morning.
Hal was a coach. After seeing amazing results, his depression lifting, and his finances improving overnight, he started sharing this miracle with his client. It became known as the Miracle Morning.
Amazing results, before 8 AM
Hal shared his practice in a self-published book in 2013. 10 years later, the Miracle Morning has become a worldwide movement, changing people’s lives one morning at a time.
I have been practicing this routine every day for the past 9 years now, and the results have been astounding.
I went from being bankrupt to more than doubling my annual income. I lost 90 pounds. I created fulfilling relationships with people who love me for who I am. I started a successful blog. I went from severely depressed to utterly fulfilled. It has transformed EVERY area of my life.
The new and updated version
For the 10th anniversary of the Miracle Morning, Hal has decided to completely revisit the book.
On December 12, the new expanded edition of the Miracle Morning is coming out and I am over the moon excited to read through more than 70 pages of added materials. I pre-ordered the book to get access to 200$ worth of bonuses, including a Miracle Morning masterclass.
I can’t wait for the new book to come out.
If you want to try a powerful routine to start your days with purpose and meaning, I highly encourage you to pre-order The Miracle Morning (Updated and Expanded Edition).
I can’t emphasize enough the profound transformation it had on my life, and the lives of millions of people all over the world.
