Make Your Bed

“If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed.”

This was a speech delivered as the commencement address to the graduates of the University of Texas at Austin on May 17, 2014, by Admiral William H. McRaven. This is a must-read book or speech that can be viewed on YouTube.

The Bible speaks of accomplishments:

2 Corinthians 8:11

But now finish doing it also, so that just as there was the readiness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability.

Hebrews 13:21

equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Start accomplishing something first thing in the morning and continue throughout the day.

Give it some thought.
