Pig Post 7


How to change the world

I recently watched a video where a U.S. Navy Admiral was giving a keynote address to a graduating class.  In his address, he outlined the ten things he learned in Navy Seal training that you need to do if you want to change the world. I have posted a link below so I’m not going to talk about all ten points, but one stood out to me.

Step 1…Make your bed in the morning.

He explained how in training, they had to have their beds made perfectly every morning and that it took him many years to understand why. If you want to change the world or accomplish something, you need to be able to complete tasks.  By making your bed in the morning, you have already completed your first task, this gives you a sense of accomplishment thereby motivating you to accomplish more tasks.

Some days, motivation is hard to come by, but by starting out of the gates by making your bed or let’s say knocking off some sit ups and/or push ups, you have already achieved your first set of tasks for the day.  The important part of this is, recognizing that you have already achieved something and use that to motivate you or even change your perspective for the day.

So if you find yourself struggling with completing tasks, whether they are personal, work related or event I Ho Chuan requirements, maybe start by making your bed.

Thanks for reading.
