In the modern world, we have two forms of people: successful people and unsuccessful people. The latter are desperate to become the former, while the former do everything they can to avoid becoming the latter. However, there are often a few major differences in the kind of lifestyle led by each kind of person.

If you want to be a successful person, then here are some of the most important tips to consider as this is what the most successful people do to try and stay healthy:

1. They get up earlier in the morning

The early bird catches the worm, as they say, and it’s no different in human society. If you are going to get things done in a good amount of time, then you need to get up earlier and attack the day with a greater sense of urgency. That’s become very common in the life of all successful people, and is a major driving force in their ability to succeed in this world.

You will find that you will be able to get more done if you get up earlier. Getting up earlier allows you to conquer that inner laziness that stops you from being better disciplined. It also helps you to make sure that you are always ready to attack the day. When you get up late, you are much more likely to have to defend yourself from issues. If you get up early, you often take the initiative on everything to come.

“Go to bed early and wake up early. The morning hours are good.” – Jeff Bezos

2. They have more robust eating habits

One of the most important parts of being successful stems from eating properly and caring for your body. This means that you should look to make sure that you have a more scheduled eating plan in your life. If you eat well, you will do well. You should look to cut out things like quick snacks or, worse, fueling your body with sugar and caffeine.

The most successful people are ahead of the curve as they look after their body properly and care for their inner systems. You’ll find much more positives about yourself if you get into the frame of mind of eating on a scheduled basis, avoiding peaks and troughs throughout the day. The secret to having consistent energy levels is to spend more time making a consistent schedule of what and when to eat.

3. They know what’s important

These people who are often the most successful are driven by their own success, and their own ability to achieve and do great things in life. They know the world is an ever-evolving location, meaning they are more than happy to appreciate change and to not stand still. Instead of thinking they have ‘made it’, successful people know that their success is never truly permanent. So, they keep going to ensure it remains permanent.

4. They remain physically active

Another key trait of the successful is that they are much more intelligent when it comes to exercise. While getting older means that your exercise is less effective, regular bouts of walking and light exercise will help you to keep your body feeling fresh and productive.

You will be much more likely to get things done with regular walking and general physical activity tied in with eating well on a regular basis. If you are serious about improving yourself and becoming more successful, then you need to commit more time to consistently staying active. However, don’t try and commit to a set in stone workout regime: commit to doing what you can every day.

If you have an extremely busy day, then it’s still important to do a little bit of exercise. Don’t allow yourself to get into the frame of mind of avoiding exercise as it’s too much to fit into your working day. Even if it’s just a small walk, the most successful people always find the time for some exercise.

“Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far.” – Thomas Jefferson

5. They allow themselves to rest

Lastly, the most successful people in this world are not hard on themselves enough to never allow themselves to rest. If you are going to be successful, then you will do so from a perspective of physical improvement. Don’t give up vital sleeping hours because you feel like you don’t have the time to sleep. You need your rest if you want to get the very maximum out of your body day-in, day-out.

Techniques such as meditation can be a good way to help rest and recover a little if you feel drained and fatigued during the day. The most successful people know their limits, and know when – or when not – to push themselves to the limit. If you can get used to avoiding overdoing it, you will be more successful.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.

I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.

I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.

As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.

I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness.

Everything legal must come through the matrix

I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.

The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.

Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.

The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be.

Every matrix has an incubation process

While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.

In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.

What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.

However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.

Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time.

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time

When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.

The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?

First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.

In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.

For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.

For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.

Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.

You must manifest your greatness

As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.

I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.

Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.

When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
