A Simple Question That Hit Hard

A friend checked my website and asked,

“Do you really get up at 5:30 a.m.?”

The question struck me. I thought nobody would care if I actually did it or not—except me. But as I’ve been writing and posting everything about this challenge, I realize now: I should always keep the promise to myself, and to the world—even if nobody really reads it.

The Honest Truth

The honest answer is: I didn’t ALWAYS wake up at half past five a.m. YET.

There were so many excuses I don’t even care to mention. So many struggles within my heart that I’m not ready to expose. But this is part of my journey of learning how to consistently wake up early, and I’m not giving up.

Resetting Again (And Again)

I’m setting my alarm again. I turned it off a couple of weeks ago, but I noticed that I’ve been waking up later and later since then. I’m trying once again to get back into my morning bird rhythm.

You’re free to laugh at me—laugh at my failures. I agree, I’ve failed many times just trying to form this habit. But I’ll never give up trying, because it’s a promise I made to myself. I also love the version of me that gets up early, feels refreshed, and loves life more.

I can even make fun of myself for it, but deep inside I’m confident. With time, I’ll get there. I’ll be the person who wakes up early consistently. And I know I can do whatever I want with the right mindset.

Failure Is Not the End

Each time we fail, we rest a bit, then reset and start again. It might feel just as painful as the first attempt, but as long as we don’t give up, there’s still hope—and a future waiting.

Don’t ever give up trying, dear me. I’m here, recording the process and motivating myself.

Life Is a Mess, But It’s Mine

Life sucks sometimes—with endless distractions and emotional ups and downs—but life is also awesome when you live it consciously, with your heart and soul.

I hear friends bragging about their money, their job, their partner… And I ask myself, What am I proud of myself?

I’ve thought about it. And now I know.

What I’m Really Proud Of

I think I’m not proud of myself for bragging to people that I get up at 5:30 AM every day, but I am proud of myself for trying different experiments with my beautiful life to live my best life — simply showing up each day and still figuring out how to consistently wake up early and stay committed.

That’s it. That’s me!
