KEEP THE OLD WARM

What do military bodies, fortune 500 companies, crime organizations, or any other large entities have in common?

They value order, routine, discipline, and overall aim to run like clockwork in a Swiss watch – each little cog doing its part to help the organization achieve its purpose.

These entities want to be machines – highly efficient, dependable, predictable, effective.

We often see these large entities achieve these states of near perfection and become so effective they start to monopolize success. We are not here to discuss the outcomes, ethics, or morality of such organizations, but how their emphasis on being “machine-like” can be recreated in our personal lives for us to achieve a similar level of success.

Be a machine. Not in your heart or your soul, but in your habits, your routines. If we are machine-like in our daily duties, make our days run like clockwork for the most part, we will be able to achieve success over time because of our organized action.

Sleep at the same time, wake up at the same time, have a morning routine, have our days run like clockwork. Let us organize our actions and repeat them. Why? Because the abundance of distractions that can sabotage our work needed to achieve our true desires know no limits. Against this world aiming to steal our time, disorganize our actions, and distract us from our purpose, making parts of our lives “machine-like” will help us maintain discipline as we aim for that purpose.

Be human in heart, soul, spirit.

Be machine in habits, daily actions, and work.
