12 Daily Non-Negotiables

Life is just a collection of moments.  You could use these moments to make as much money as possible, cure diseases, watch more Netflix than anyone else, or maybe achieve enlightenment.  There is no right or wrong way to spend these moments but collectively using them with purpose is important for a good quality of life.  

I want to spend my finite moments with a sense of purpose to help others and to build and maintain strong relationships while sustaining a strong mind and body.  I want to do this all while finding happiness in the simplicity of life for as many healthy years as possible. 

It would be nice if some days that my life goals just happened but it not only takes effort, it takes a consistent amount of effort in order to create habits and routines. 

Enter non-negotiables. 

Doing consistent daily habits and routines that are important to you (non-negotiables) builds momentum and with this momentum, the moments of your day are on autopilot toward your tropical destination. These days of positive habits fashion the life you want and “suddenly” you are happier and more fulfilled. As Annie Dilard said,

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. “
