5 REASONS YOU SHOULD WAKE UP AT 5AM: CHANGE YOUR LIFE TODAY

Written by: Ifabumuyi Mercy Taye 

Everyone wants to be a millionaire, and why not? I want to become one as well, but we are left with this question, are we ready to make certain changes to our daily habit, like waking up at 5 am? For some, this sounds crazy, and for the likes of Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and Jeff Bezos, they all had one thing in common, they woke up at 5 am, while you were sleeping; they made Millions, or perhaps double.

The fear of failure should be deterrent to laziness, and this should push you out of your comfort zone. Making it big is very hard, I won't deny that fact, but the cost of not pushing yourself at all is far worse than you can imagine.

Success and your definition of making it, doesn't have to be a dream, you have the right to dream big, but remember you have to wake up to the reality that certain changes can induce you to the lifestyle you always wanted. Now let’s get to it: 5 reasons why you should wake up early, and change your life today.

PRODUCTIVITY

When we talk about productivity, it is a stage in one’s life that isn’t that easy to ascertain, no matter your age. It has been confirmed that the most productive hours are in the first blush of the morning, that moment when others are still asleep, and you have that time all to yourself, to be productive. You have a chance to do what most people can’t do, you can exercise, meditate, pray, read a book, complete your future projects and tasks on time and so many other productive things, and it is no doubt that productivity paves the way to success.

INDEPENDENCE

If your plan is to one day move out of your parents’ house and go live in your new apartment, or perhaps to be financially independent in the future and not be a burden, then you need to consider waking up at 5 am daily. The feeling you get from just waking up early is an independent kind of feeling, you feel free, stronger, and bolder, because those little steps of productivity, will boost your morale and confidence.

AWARENESS

Awareness is a state of being conscious of something or your environment. Waking up early is a passageway of knowing yourself better, you get to do things that connect more to your inner self, there is a feeling of mindfulness and calmness as well, and it is in this moment you get the best from your morning routine, you get to find happiness in your own company, and that will enable you to walk the path of champions.

BREAK THE CHAIN OF POVERTY

Being poor doesn’t necessarily mean living from hand to mouth, it implies that you aren’t in a financial position you always dreamed of, you always get worried when your parents or someone close to you needs money, and you aren't able to do anything, this feeling alone, mixed with compassion, is enough to push you and your goals higher, make waking up at 5 am one of it today.

BECOME THE NEXT MILLIONAIRE AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Attributes and characteristics of a rich man are always linked to early morning habits; it is at that moment they tend to be more productive. The ability to wake up early is a form of self-discipline, and this helps in other areas as well. A self-disciplined person wouldn’t procrastinate, or oversleep, a self-discipline person knows when to draw the line when having fun, a self-disciplined person is eager to learn new things, acquire new skills, and always inquisitive, they mostly never take no for an answer, so if all these attributes are combined, then you are definitely on the right path to changing your life for the better, and most probably you can fulfill your dream of becoming a millionaire, but remember, every good thing, takes time to bloom.

Note: Some people consider themselves as night owls, those who study at night, while others see themselves as a morning person, whichever category you find yourself, make sure your habits are highly productive, so you can attain the heights you want to get to, and remain focused because it isn’t about now, it’s about your future, start making the right decisions, get used to the healthy habits of life, and watch yourself change your life.
