Good glorious morning leaders (and Nostriches)!
It started when I was young, getting up before first light to go hunting or fishing.
It continued in my teenage years when I had to be up early for Jazz Band rehearsal (first down beat was 05:30)…
It got a little wonky in my 20’s as the music world, or more aptly years of school before didn’t do a good job of preparing you for being a musician—sleep schedule wise—05:30 down beats became head on pillow cause you just finished your gig a couple hours before.
Now as an adult, some might say by age but not maturity 🤔 🤣, I love waking before the sun comes up.
In one regard it’s like a mini challenge, can I beat the sun rising?
But truth be told, I find I get my best work done before the rest of the world wakes.
There is a silence, a stillness (except the bugs here in Florida), and an opportunity to work on myself before I pour into others.
That’s the real reason I think waking early is mission critical to leaders.
How can we possibly give from an empty cup? We can’t!
(For if we try, that’s called burnout…)
So…good morning moon and good glorious morning Leaders!
