What is the 3 AM Rule all about? Part 3

The 3 AM rule is all about the flow of ideas early in the morning. When you hit a reservoir of ideas, and they begin to gush out, take time to get your recorder out and just let it flow until you have exhausted all the thoughts that are flowing out of your mind. You are experiencing an inspirational waterfall of ideas that you can later come back to, review, and use for material at a later time. Don’t stop that flow—just stop, dictate these ideas on your phone, email them to yourself, and then go back at a later time to figure out why those ideas were coming out of your mind so fluently. This is your intuitive, creative self advising you. If you look at how the universe was created, all the things you see came out of the mind of some human being. The products in your life that you see before you, you have created as well. The car, the clothes you have on, and the hairstyle you have all come from a thought. You can change them with another thought when you are ready. We take for granted the immense amount of power we possess to change our environment anytime we want to. But remember, mountains did not just pop out of the sky and grow to the heights that they are today. Neither did a tree or a plant. What is buried in the earth has to form roots and then come out of the ground. You have to deploy patience with any ambition that is worthy of your time and attention over long periods of time. As technology grows, you must grow with it. We are continuously learning until the grave calls us, so there’s no such thing as retiring from learning. When you stop learning, you are on your way out of here quicker than the person who is excited to wake up every day, no matter how old they are, and say, "Let me learn something new." Today is the only day that is promised to you. The very moment that you’re reading this, the next moment you could be no longer among us. So cherish the moment. In science, a moment is 90 seconds, so be consciously aware of where you are, what you’re doing, and who you’re talking to. Make each moment special so that you can get the benefit from your connection to heaven. The power that you will be able to harness will put you where you always want to be mentally, spiritually, and physically.

Disciplined People

People who are disciplined accept brutal facts. The fact that I am willing to pursue my ambition in the 3am hour is noteworthy. The 3am Rule is the pathway to your competive edge. It is not possible to aquire the type of success your are looking for being like everyone else. I belive 99% of the people in this

world do not see the value of waking up ant 3am to begin to work. Put some pressure on yourself. Be different. Get up and be curious. Get in that quiet room and learn things while everyone is asleep. Ideally I like to have 2 to 3 hours where I do nothing but write. To be great you must be willing to do what others are unwilling to do. Maximize your time spent alone. The 3am Rule is for those who want to become extraordinary in their work!

"The 3 A.M. Mindset: Finding Confidence and Purpose Before the World Wakes"

Readers, when I first started this blog, I thought I was a weirdo for talking about something that people don't normally discuss—waking up and working on their dreams at 3:00 a.m. I've always found that time of the morning to be sacred. It gave me a sense that I was headed toward my ultimate destination and becoming the person I wanted to be: a world-class radio personality, known as one of the best to have ever done it. Yet, I have not reached that point, even though I have won major awards. But I've always believed in my heart that preparing myself at 3:00 a.m. was the linchpin in my career. I always thought of myself when I was sitting in the office almos two and a half hours before it was time for me to go on air; I wanted to feel like I was the only morning man in America who was already at work, and it gave me a sense of ownership and internal confidence to know that I was putting in this type of work, this amount of pressure on myself, to get where I wanted to go. Trust me, it did take me exactly where I thought it would, and that’s why trusting your intuition—trusting your gut on what you really, truly believe about yourself—is essential. People would ask, "What's the big deal about waking up at 3:00 a.m.?" I’d say, for me, in my mind, I wanted it to be the differentiating factor in whether I was going to be successful or not. It was the bar I set for myself in accomplishing my personal ambition. I hope that by sharing this with you, I can give you some sense that what you think about yourself is true, and you’re not the only one who thinks about these things as you grow—degree by degree—in understanding your true self. So, if waking up at 3:00 a.m. is sacred to you, like it is to me, stay locked into this blog, as I will share more of myself with you on this subject.

Start Early, Tackle the Hard Tasks, and Win

Waking up at 3:00 AM to start the day. It's a great way to boost productivity. Time is fleeting; every minute you don't spend on your most pressing tasks weighs on your mind. You know you need to get it done, but waking up later than intended has now triggered anxiety. Time you can't get back has now slipped out of your grasp. Work begins to pile up, and you may find yourself rushing, unable to do your best work because you're up against the clock. I recommend setting that alarm clock for 3:00 AM, jumping out of bed, and tackling the hardest tasks first. Then, you can be happy and relaxed for the rest of the day. Some of our work simply shouldn't take so long to complete. Respect the time required to knock out your most pressing tasks, and you will be rewarded.

Finding Clarity and Purpose in the Stillness of 3am

Trust what you know you have to do. What does that sentence mean to me? It means that you know, without a doubt, what you must do in order to fulfill the request of your heart. It means that you do not take into consideration what anybody else has to say about your endeavor because your heart has already told you. You must not look to other people but to yourself. That’s why I said you have to trust what you know… and not somebody else. Nobody knows what you want more than you do. That’s why with the 3 AM blog, it is important that we learn how to sit in silence with ourselves. To be alone with ourselves to hear ourselves tell us instructions that we must follow without entertaining any doubt. You must learn how to trust yourself completely and focus on your ambitious goals. This one life that we are living is made up of scenes just like a movie being played out, and you are the scriptwriter, the director, and the actor in your own creation of your life. Take further responsibility for the outcome of every day going forward. That’s why it’s so important that we wake up at 3 AM with a purpose to direct ourselves and give firm instructions of the activities that must take place and the time frame in which they must be completed. I pray that I am saying something that may help you think about how to navigate your life every day by taking full, unmitigated responsibility for every second of it. Again, that’s why I’m an advocate of sitting in silence at 3 AM while the Earth is still, so that we can think and find our way in this world to create the life that we want.

The Cost of Dishonesty in Business and Life

In business and life, you can’t be afraid of losing friendships based on the truth. You can get off whatever merry-go-round you are on right now when you decide to face the truth and then speak the truth. Suffering when you don’t have to is insane. You can’t be fearful of being honest. Honesty is the key that unlocks all the doors that have been closed to you. We suffer because we won’t be honest, and as long as you keep being dishonest about how you really feel, you will remain a prisoner of your current circumstances. Is it your ego that is keeping you in bondage? Can you be honest with yourself when answering this yes or no question? Aimless pursuits are intense and regrettable offenses against yourself. You can’t blame anyone else for this kind of lack of courage. You will have no one to blame but yourself. Sure, there’s a chance you may no longer be friends with people you have known for a very long time because you decided to be honest and truthful. But always remember that whatever the truth produces is always good. Telling the truth is never the wrong decision. Don’t be fearful about the outcome that comes with truth-telling. The truth is undefeated!
