Follow These 7 Tips for a Happy Morning
The storyteller shares Vishen Lakhiani's approach to morning inspiration: listing desired experiences rather than traditional goals. By focusing on who to wake up with, where to live, and adventures to pursue, they found more joy and motivation than conventional goal-setting.
List experiences, not goals.
Entrepreneur and bestselling author, Vishen Lakhiani believes that identifying the experiences you want to have in life is more inspiring and motivating than just writing your goals.
Who do you want to wake up with, what type of house do you want to live in, what type of countries do you want to live in? Everything from the adventures you want to experience the type of dog you want to have should be listed every morning. These will inspire you and give you joy and motivation than just writing goals like I want to make $100K this year or buy a Ferrari. Write down whatever makes you tingle regardless of what others think.
