COT:
Your Non-negotiable 5

The theme for the day is 5, obviously being the 5th of March. You see the number 5 in a lot of places such as books, articles, media, studies, and more:
– The 5 love languages
– 5 voices of communication
– 5 steps to living a healthier life
– 5 investments to increase your portfolio this year
– We have 5 fingers and 5 toes on each hand/foot (well, most of us)
– The song Mambo #5 (might not be a great example)

Humans clearly are drawn to the number 5 to remember things, to do things, to activate things in life, etc.

I’ve shared this before:
1% of your day = 15 minutes. When broken down into 5-minute increments of focus (example: 5 minutes of silence, 5 minutes of prayer, 5 minutes of reflection), can be a powerful way to purposefully take ownership over 1% of your day.

We’re in week 10 of 2024 – the 1st week in March. How are those New Year resolutions doing?

So while tapping into the number 5, the challenge is this: identify your non-negotiable 5.
– This week
– This month
– This year
– Your life?

Non-negotiable = not open for discussion or modification
– If there aren’t any non-negotiables in your life — everything is up for discussion or modification
– With others, sure, but also with yourself

I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.
