“Your problem is how you are going to spend this one and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.”

― Anne Lamott, Novelist

I. Start Your Adventure

May we celebrate + maximize the journey of our 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, and 86,400 seconds to:

  • Add value.

  • Solve problems.

  • Envision possibilities.

  • Nurture a growth mindset.

  • Be a positive difference-maker.

“To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

II. The 4 Immutable Laws of the Spirit

It is human nature to resist change and to have fear exploring the unknown. These four laws by Harrison Owen can help us understand the power of acceptance and focusing on what is in our control.

  1. Whoever is Present Are The Right People.

  2. Whenever It Begins is the Right Time.

  3. Whatever Happens, is the Only Thing That Could Have Happened.

  4. When It’s Over, It’s Over.

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” — Dr. Maya Angelou

III. The Road Back to You

Gentle reminders as we begin a new week of self-exploration:

  • If it is to be, it’s up to me.

  • Live a life that serves others more than you.

  • The first sign of intelligence is to admit we don’t know.

  • Sometimes we have to be wrong, so someone else can be right.

  • Begin each day with two choices ― to be happy or to be very happy.

  • If you and another person agree on everything, one of you is unnecessary.

IV. What We’re Starting Our Day With…

Like most, here at The Daily Coach, we rely on coffee to get us going in the morning or through a long week. Whether it’s overpaying for Starbucks each week or drinking far too many cups in the office, we all deserve a better option. Luckily, we’ve found a better option with Explorer Cold Brew!

You’ve never had coffee like this! Not only is Explorer Cold Brew some of the best coffee we’ve ever tasted, but with four different caffeine levels their award winning cold brew will give you exactly what you need. The future of coffee is here.

We try to write about inspirational stories each week in The Daily Coach and Explorer Cold Brew founder Cason Crane’s inspiring adventures climbing Mount Everest while raising awareness for important causes is one that is worth your time!

V. Question

I will stand in courage by…

VI. This Week I Will

  1. Live my values.

  2. Accept help from others.

  3. Reconnect with gratitude.

  4. Stop doubting my progress.

  5. Use boundaries to help my focus.

The Last Words…

“I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you. Spend each day getting a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Step by step you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. But you build discipline by preparing for fast spurt. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day.”

― Charlie Munger, Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.
