• Hal’s documentary took 6 hard years and surviving cancer and almost died. – 2:55
• There are some people listening though who aren’t familiar with Miracle Morning. What is a Miracle Morning? 7:01
  
• Start your day with these six specific practices and becoming the person that you need to be to create everything that you want for your life. – 9:29
  
• The acronym is SAVERS, I think it’s appropriate because in my experience, these are the six practices that can save us from missing out on the level of fulfillment, joy, success that we want. – 11:09

• When the book came out, my mission was changed one million lives, one morning at a time. And then once we sold over a million copies, I went, all right, what’s the next thing? 24:33
  
• Even in the midst of the most challenging time in my life that I still chose all of my values of, I was grateful. I was optimistic. I was doing my Miracle Morning every day. I was serving other people in every way that I could. And I think that with what’s going on in the world right now, the world has cancer in a lot of ways you could say metaphorically speaking. – 28:15
  
• I was so mission-driven, like I’ve got to elevate consciousness, I have to change millions and millions and millions of lives. It’s like I had tricked myself without being even aware of it that quantity is more important than quality. – 32:27
  
• The purpose of a goal is not to hit the goal, the purpose of a goal it’s to give you a target to move toward that enables you to become the type of person that you need to be qualified to achieve goals. – 37:19
  
• His depression went away the first day he did the Miracle Morning. I think it’s the idea that when you start your day this way you are optimizing your inner world, you’re optimizing your mental, emotional, and spiritual faculties and capacities. – 40:33
  
• Why the idea of being limitless scares us. – 42:07
• I forget, I get distracted, I get stressed, I get stimulated, I get whatever, but I pull those affirmations out and I’m reminded, oh yeah, that my wife loves me unconditionally and I love her unconditionally. And how she shows up is just she’s dealing with her own stuff and there’s nothing for me to take personally. – 49:20
  
• Could I do the SAVERS in the afternoon and get the same effect or in the evening? The answer to that is yes and no. Are those six practices going to benefit you any time of day? Absolutely. – 52:38
  
• How you start your day, sets the tone, the context and the direction or how you live your day. And if you win the morning essentially in simple terms, then you put yourself in the best position to win the day and then you create a winning life.– 54:46
