Have you ever had those days when you just seem to go through the motions, almost as if you were on autopilot? More than likely you forgot to sign-in. Perhaps you did not know that your log in times-out at the end of each day. Each morning you must use your username and password to sign into your life for another day in order to maintain a real-time connection. If you forget to log in, yesterday’s news, yesterday’s agenda, and yesterday itself may be stuck on repeat, as it was in the movie, “Ground Hog Day.’ The good thing for the main character in the movie was that even though the world around him was stuck in a repetitive loop, he was able to learn and grow in real-time each day.
If you want to be disciplined for success, you must log on each day, even if the world around you is stuck on repeat, like a syndicated news station. I know it is easier to have the system save your username and password, but eventually you will not only forget your password, but you will forget who you are. Do not worry, however, as with any good system, you can recover your username and change your password. When you go through this process, you rediscover who you are and regain access to yourself and your world. Remember, your username and password are necessary to access your personal files, so do not forget them, and do not forget to sign on and sign off.
Sign-in and sign-out, clock-in and clock-out, log-in and log-out, yes, and sometimes you must even reboot. Success depends on what you do when you are logged on in real-time.
