These Are the 960 Minutes You're Training For

YOUTUBE  📚 THE READING LIFE  📚  PATREON

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

You have 960 total minutes each day with which to take on the world.

Assuming you sleep for 8 hours (or, “sleep faster!,” as Arnold would say) you have another 16 - and ONLY another 16 hours to mold today into everything it COULD be.

You didn’t open this email just so I could teach you how to tell time, so here’s my point:

Hardly anyone EVER remains focused on their goals, dreams, and objectives for all 960 minutes.

There are distractions, there’s mind-wandering, laziness, negative emotion that pulls us out of the moment.

All these things and more pull us OUT of the present moment and rob us of our minutes, one by one.

But that’s what we’re training for, by returning again and again to our focal point. We’re training the mind to grab hold of those minutes as they float by, and squeeze every last bit of LIFE out of them.

Like we were holding a wet towel, and wanted to get every single DROP out of that wet towel.

You might have “wasted” or otherwise used up 800 minutes today, NOT working towards your goals and dreams.

But tomorrow, you can shoot for 799. Then 798 the next day, then 750 the day after THAT. And so on and so on.

Until you get more and more out of that wet towel. Until you’re so FOCUSED and DIALLED IN that no force on EARTH could distract you from the realization of your Vision.

You’ve spent 3 minutes reading this.

You have 957 minutes left.

Don’t lose them.

Funny story from today and then I’m going to bed. So I was pitching this author about promoting their book on my Instagram, and she sends me this message:

“Not interested in a sales pitch, but if you’d like to come to [my city] and take me on a date I would say yes.” Haha! How about that! I got pitched from my own pitch!

And you know what? I’m thinking about it!

Anyway, great day overall, really made some sound progress, and tomorrow should be even better.

But hey, it’s 5:02AM here, so I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
