10 LESSONS I LEARNT FROM THE BOOK "THE 5AM CLUB"

-
The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma is a parable about genuine success.
The kind of success that will turn you into a hero. 
Heroism may sound romantic, but it is possible for anyone to achieve it by embracing discomfort and working on daily habits for self-improvement.          

1. Natural talent 
Natural talent is not what defines great individuals. 
It is the extent of that potential that they capitalize on through consistency and relentlessness.

2. Freedom from Distraction
An addiction to distraction is the death of your creative production.
Concentrate on only a few projects, so you can make them exceptional.
Prioritize quality over quantity. 

3. Personal Mastery Practice
All your actions within your environment are a result of what’s happening within you.
External always expresses internal.
If you can master your inner world, you will master the external world too. 

4. Day Stacking 
Each day is equally important in the bigger picture of your life.
So, craft your life based on each day, focusing on the bigger picture of your life.
Always consistently and relentlessly stick to your focus. 

5. The Secret of Morning Genius
When we get up at five in the morning, The cortisol levels in the brain decrease, while the dopamine and serotonin levels increase.
Flow is a state of mind when we are genuinely engaged in the activity that we pursue and lose track of time.

6. The Four Interior Empires
Mindset: Relates to the psychological aspect of our being
Heart set: Relates to our emotional intelligence.
Health set: Relates to our physical fitness.
Soul set: Relates to spirituality. 

7. A habit maker lives by three key values:
Persistence and consistency are the keys to victory.
Your level of respect for yourself is ultimately determined by how much work you put into completing what you have started.
Your performance when there is an audience.

8. The Benefits of Journaling
Journaling multiplies our clarity and awareness.
Journaling also allows you to plan effectively and set demonstrable goals.
So, a simple act of writing in your journal can genuinely elevate your life.

9.The Pre-Sleep Ritual
 When we talk about getting up at 5:00 AM, it’s impossible unless we sleep on time.
9:00 PM to 10:00 PM is when you have to prepare for your sleep.
If you practice gratitude before you sleep, your day ends on a high note, a positive note.

10. Use Joy as a GPS
 Spend time with people who spark joy in your life.
You should also spend time on the pursuits and in the places that spark joy.
When you use joy as a GPS, you ensure you are happily achieving your goals.

The medical profession is known for its demanding nature, with doctors and other medical professionals working long hours and dealing with high levels of stress. As a result, there has long been a belief that medical practice can lead to a shorter lifespan for those who work in the field.  But is this belief accurate?
