Willpower doesn’t work, not in a real sense, Good habits are the fabrics, that give us license, To make better choices, better decisions each day, Nothing is worse than letting discipline slip away. At the end of evening, energy all used up and gone, Better to pay yourself first, diligent work at dawn. What could you accomplish, with a morning routine, That put’s priorities first, instead of the machine? At the end of the day, no time to delay, so drained, Before breakfast is the time to realign, less strained. Too taxing to wait, too much on your plate – Fate, cannot be left to chance, set your course straight. Make mornings matter, no room for chatter – At last, disciplined dreams are accomplished before breakfast.
