Memorable Quotes
- “I can’t change what happened, but I can choose to be at peace with what I can’t change, grateful for what I have, and focus on the things that are in my control.”
- “The more you resist reality and wish it were different, the more pain we create for ourselves. Freedom is in acceptance. Freedom is in being at peace with what you can’t change.”
- “Most people who experience failure probably didn’t stay with it for long enough. They didn’t have the frustration tolerance. So they just gave up and said, ‘This isn’t working.’ And it takes a while to break through.”
- “I love that you’re starting your day with silence—peaceful, purposeful silence to get centered, to gain clarity, to calm your nervous system.”
- “I was prioritizing the impact I could make in the world over the impact I could make in my family. It was quantity over quality. When I had cancer, it was the epiphany that the impact I could make on their three lives far superseded the impact I could make on the world.”
- “The Miracle Morning allows me to focus on the two things I can control: Who I become every day and how I show up. It is ensuring I am fully aware of what’s going on inside me and thoughtful and intentional about showing up as my best for those I love and lead.
Key Takeaways
- The 5-Minute Rule: Allow yourself five minutes to process difficult emotions, then let go by saying, "I can’t change it," and move forward.
- The Power of Ritual: Implementing the Miracle Morning routine (silence, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading, and journaling) can shift your mindset and set you up for success, no matter how busy or unpredictable life gets.
- Writing Affirmations that Work: Passive affirmations take you nowhere, but written commitments that connect the future you want to the actions you’ll take drive transformation.
- What Matters Most: It took a cancer scare for Hal to realize that changing the lives of his family “far superseded” changing the world.
- Resilience Through Faith: Hal’s unshakeable belief in himself and his faith helped him defy the odds and recover from life-threatening challenges.
