THE POWER OF DAILY ROUTINE

The power of Daily Routine
I write every day! Yes, every single day.
If you have a gift of writing or need to write for your personal brand, then you have to write every day.
But, how do you write every day and consistently?
The answer is that you need to form a routine.
Your routine must have the following:
1. READ: You must read every single day.
Think of it like this: if you don't feed yourself, you won't have any energy to do a thing.
You cannot give what you don't have.
So, it's what you read that feeds you for what you would give.
This is a MUST if you are going to be an effective and consistent writer.
Your inspiration is in the things you read.
2. WRITE: Great writers write daily.
One habit is to just write. Wake up in the morning and write.
John Maxwell said he takes the first few minutes of his day writing.
I personally have set a reminder on my phone to write for 15 minutes every single day.
This works for me. Find what works for you but you have to write daily.
Writing is like trying to build a muscle, it takes consistency!
3. GET A JOURNAL: Ideas are what you write.
Have you ever got an idea while you're about to jump on a bus and by the time you comfortably take your seat on the bus, you've lost that thought or idea?
That can be quite painful.
This used to happen to me too until I started keeping a journal and taking it everywhere with me.
I hear you ask: I can do that on my phone, can't I? Yes, you can! Your notes on your phone can help with this but I prefer a book. I can be quite old fashioned.
Journaling will help you get your ideas on paper fast, construct or organise your thoughts and make sure you don't lose any idea that comes to mind.
These are my personal routine and I came about them through learning from others.
Now, go give them a try. I must confess, just starting out can be uneasy but that's with starting any new habit.
I believe in you.

Looking at my life today, some might assume I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth. They see the progress, the platforms, the opportunities, the impact—and they conclude, “He must have had it all figured out from the start.” But here’s the truth... I wasn’t born with a golden spoon. In fact, I wasn’t even born with a spoon at all. The circumstances surrounding my birth were far from rosy. My beginning was rough, humble, and almost forgettable by the standards of this world. There was nothing to suggest that I would one day stand where I stand today, speak as I speak today, or do what I do today. But I was helped. I was helped by God. That’s the only reason I’ve come this far. And that, dear friend, is why I’m writing this—to remind you that it doesn’t matter where or how you were born . Your background, no matter how limiting or disadvantaged, cannot stop God’s plan for your life. You may not have had the best education. You may have been born into poverty. You may have been rejected, neglected, abandoned or overlooked. But when God steps into your life , He rewrites the story. He is not intimidated by your limitations. In fact, He specializes in using the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He lifts the poor from the dust and sets them among princes (Psalm 113:7-8). You don’t need a silver spoon, golden spoon, or any spoon at all. All you need is His help . My life is a testament to this truth: God still helps men. He still lifts. He still promotes. He still turns nobodies into wonders. And I believe the same will happen for you. If you will let Him, If you will trust Him, If you will surrender your life to Him… You will become a miracle. You will become a wonder. Your story will be one that generations will talk about. So here’s my charge to you: Stop disqualifying yourself based on your background. Stop underestimating what God can do through you. Stop comparing your journey with someone else’s. Instead, start seeking God’s help. Start walking in faith. Start declaring His promises over your life. Because your story—yes, YOUR story—is not over yet. In fact, it’s just beginning. You are next in line for a miracle. I believe in you!
