“How do I lift people up, through the words I use in the music I write.”
Brotha James
Last week, I released Part 1 of a musical conversation between Brotha James (aka my good friend, Jeremy Reisig) and Jon Berghoff. They shared some fascinating never-before-told stories and jammed out to a few of my favorite songs, including “Grateful” and “The Front Row Anthem.”
Today we release Part 2, and you’ll hear the debut of the brand new Miracle Morning song!
The power of music is undeniable, but Brotha James, takes it to a whole new level by combining music with positive affirmations.
His mission is to spread love and joy through music, messages, and inspirational living, and that’s why I invite Brotha James to perform at all of our live events.
Of all of the Brotha James songs, I think #3 may be my favorite. But then again, I may be a little biased ;^)
KEY TAKEAWAYS
During Part 2 of this musical conversation, you’ll get to experience 3 more inspiring Brotha James songs:
- Song/Message #1: “Slow Down”—Far too often, we feel the need to move faster, especially when we look at what others are doing. This song is all about slowing things down and appreciating the little things in life that keep us grounded.
- Song/Message #2: “Abracadabra”—A lot of us associate the word ‘abracadabra’ with magic. This song is about the magic you can create in your own life. It’s about deciding that you can do anything you want to do, if you’re willing to go for it.
- Song/Message #3: “Miracle Morning”—Brotha James once asked me “Hal, what is a miracle morning?” My response was simple… “It’s any time you wake up before you have to and do something that empowers you to become the best version of yourself.” That’s what this song is all about.

[INTRODUCTION]
[00:00:31] Jon: Achieve Your Goals Podcast listeners, Jon Berghoff here. You’re listening in on part two of my musical conversation with Jeremy (brotha James) Reisig. If you caught part one, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed recording it, looking out over the bay in Traverse City. It was such a beautiful moment. Jer and I afterwards when we ended the recording, we sat there and looked at each other and said to ourselves, “That was a lot of fun.” So, I hope you enjoyed it. Here you go for part two.
Again, if you’re going to be joining us in person in sunny San Diego, November 17, 18, 19 BestYearEverLive.com, which if you listen to part one, you heard Jeremy and I tell a little bit about the history of the Best Year Ever Live through the lens of our friendship because really, we got to know each other through the first ever Best Year Ever Live Event when Hal brought us together. But if you’re going to join us, I believe the payment plan options probably go away pretty soon so we cannot wait to see you. Bring a friend. Bring a team. We’ll see you at Entrepreneur Day November 17, 18, 19 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. It’s our Fourth Annual Best Year Ever Live Blueprint Experience. Hal and I cannot wait to hang out with you and I hope you enjoy listening to this episode in the meantime. Take care.
[INTERVIEW]
[00:01:44] Jon: Dude, what else we want to talk about?
[00:01:46] brotha James: Let’s talk about the power of music.
[00:01:49] Jon: Let’s talk about the power of music. It sounds great.
[00:01:50] brotha James: Yeah.
[00:01:51] Jon: Tell us all about the power of music.
[00:01:54] brotha James: Well, it’s more powerful than we think. It’s one of those things that is so prominent and frequent and accepted in our culture, just music in general, that it’s easy to bypass the power of what’s happening. When you have beats and rhythms and melodies, they go deeper than what we actually are able to intellectually understand. They’re moving into our spirit or our soul or something, our nervous system and so there’s that in the power of music. There’s the power of music itself as the instruments or the instrumental and then there’s also the power of the words which I’ve been fascinated with since I started this journey as a musician and that is, my guiding question is “How do I empower, inspire and lift people up through the power of the words I use in the music I write?”
[00:02:48] Jon: That’s beautiful. That’s a great question.
[00:02:50] brotha James: Constantly thinking about that.
[00:02:51] Jon: Yeah.
[00:02:52] brotha James: And as I’ve evolved and realized that I have a lot of kid fans which is so not what I planned and it’s such a wonderful part of this adventure because one of the great parts about it is if we look at like what Jeff Hoffman says, the power of childlike curiosity. Well, by having so many kid fans, I’m constantly asking myself the question like, “How might I help these kids to be curious and be connected?” which only leads to my own ability to be curious all the time and being around them.
[00:03:24] Jon: Do you think they’re also attracted to how many bracelets you’re wearing?
[00:03:28] brotha James: Yeah. Yeah. Well, the…
[00:03:30] Jon: Jer, I just noticed.
[00:03:31] brotha James: …bracelets and the – well, okay. So…
[00:03:33] Jon: You realize we could do four episodes just reading everything on all of your bracelets here. I mean, this is something.
[00:03:37] brotha James: Yeah. I live in the front row.
[00:03:39] Jon: Who needs to work out when you wear these many bracelets? I’m looking realizing how many of these I have some connection to also.
[00:03:46] brotha James: Dude, Mike McCarthy got a few on here. You’ve got two on here so you and Mike are the yes bracelets.
[00:03:51] Jon: Whoa.
[00:03:52] brotha James: Hold on. We’re getting sidetracked here.
[00:03:54] Jon: We’re getting sidetracked. Jer, I don’t know if you know this but in the history of the Achieve Your Goals Podcast, we have never gotten sidetracked until this moment right now.
[00:04:01] brotha James: I know. So, let’s just bring it back. Let’s bring it back because the power of music, well no, here is where I want to take it.
[00:04:08] Jon: Yeah. Hold on.
[00:04:09] brotha James: You open up a door.
[00:04:10] Jon: I want to help you because you said something a minute ago that I just want to reflect on that you talked about how when we play music just the sound of it like it reverberates deep inside of us. That’s one of the reasons and everyone is trying to figure out why do I love having drums at every meeting? You know, it’s somebody that you had introduced me to. I couldn’t remember who it was but they once said to me, maybe Natalie or Baba, they once said to me, they said, “If you look at the drum, the drum is an instrument that has transcended cultures and boundaries in time and history,” and I think it may have been Natalie or someone on her team who once pointed out to me, now, this goes way beyond my intellectual understanding of things related to drums but she said, “Yeah. When you play the drum, it realigns your energy centers,” whatever that means, realigns your chakras. Now, I can’t claim that I can explain that. What I can say is that when I sit here and I play this drum, it realigns something inside of me.
[00:05:11] brotha James: For sure.
[00:05:11] Jon: So, I just wanted to acknowledge that my experience has been that the power of an instrument I think does go like you said, a lot deeper than what we often give credit to.
[00:05:22] brotha James: Yeah. Absolutely. So, I’ll take that in two their actions. Number one, big shout-out to Scott Groves, Josh Painter, Mike McCarthy, Heidi. So, the power of music, what you focus on expands and what you hear a lot of, what you hear over and over again determines what you focus on. So, if you listen to music that has a message that does not align with your values, we make it harder in our lives to align with our values by having that content constantly being brought into our, let’s call it our radar or our proximity. So, the same thing with podcasts or the news. If you listen to news a lot and you don’t agree with it and it makes you upset, the more you listen to it, the harder it will be to be in a place of gratitude, appreciation, acceptance, compassion.
[00:06:10] Jon: And can I say something about that right there? For me, personally, one of the things I’ve noticed is I will sometimes rationalize listening to watching or reading the news by telling myself, well, I don’t necessarily agree with it or I’m not addicted to it but it’s entertaining, which by the way there’s a lot to be entertained by. But I often have to remind myself that even if that is a legitimate justification that I’m giving to reading or watching or listening to the news, I have to remember that it’s still going to actually influence me even if I’m telling myself that it’s okay to be entertained by it.
[00:06:48] brotha James: Yeah. And then we go so deep on that like so musically, if we stick with the power of music, making sure that you’re engaging in music that has a message that aligns with your values is important and especially if you have kids because your kids are like little sponges and they just pick it up and they’re listening to every word and they’re being conditioned based on the music.
[00:07:10] Jon: And they repeat the words and they sing.
[00:07:12] brotha James: They repeat the words and they learn them so quickly so the power of music, there’s a lot of power of music and I feel like I have a large responsibility to continue to say what I just said about listening to music that’s inspiring and uplifting because music also has this ability for people to say whatever it is that they want to say and become very popular saying it. And sometimes the media will then push that. The mainstream pushes it into the mainstream because it’s catchy in some way or the figure is easy to sell. They don’t think about the negative impact that it will have on kids, parents, people. They just think about what is the economic engine behind this. That looks good. And so, the power of music is deep and so listening to quality entertainers and artists is I think really important and I take that as a huge responsibility and I like to create content that inspires, uplifts and helps people to connect to their talents, their strengths and believe that they can take those to the world in a way that fills them up.
[00:08:14] Jon: Yeah. That’s awesome. You know, when you say it that way, I sit here and I think about it and I’ve heard people say things like, “We now live in a time where people don’t read books anymore.” Well, think about who’s listening to this podcast or who’s watching this. You’re the type of people that are conscious of what you’re listening to, what you’re reading but think about this. Think about how many of us or those outside of this community either care or don’t care about these things but think about how much energy we put into, hey, what book should I read next? What event should I go to the next? As I’m reflecting on what you’re saying, we should care as much about what song am I listening to next.
[00:08:48] brotha James: Absolutely.
[00:08:49] Jon: Because there’s a lot of people who probably are listening to music all the time whereas they might not be reading a book or in an event all the time and so you start to think about the logic to it. We should be really thoughtful. So, we should, really, the conclusion of today’s episode is we should listen to more brotha James music.
[00:09:05] brotha James: I’m totally up about it. And, hey, this is that spot where you go, “brotha James, tell them how they can find you.”
[00:09:12] Jon: Brotha James, tell them how they can find you.
[00:09:15] brotha James: Is that good?
[00:09:16] Jon: That’s really good. It was subtle. I don’t know if they heard you cue that up so I think it came out really naturally.
[00:09:22] brotha James: Well, brotha James is B-R-O-T-H-A James and so you can find brotha James pretty much anywhere on the Internet. If you put in Brother James like B-R-O-T-H-E-R James…
[00:09:36] Jon: It’s a whole other dude.
[00:09:36] brotha James: It’s a whole different genre.
[00:09:37] Jon: It’s a different brother dude James.
[00:09:39] brotha James: Like there’s like 20 or 30 or 40.
[00:09:41] Jon: In the history of telling people, B-R-O-T-H-A James, have you ever spelled James?
[00:09:46] brotha James: No.
[00:09:47] Jon: No? All right. Just wanted to check.
[00:09:48] brotha James: James is so easy. I don’t know how you spell that. So, you can go to brothaJames.com and also if you text the number 33444, the word Animal, I’ll send you the Animal track which is about breaking through barriers, breaking through obstacles and being animalistic in the pursuit of our dreams and the pursuit of our goals, outcomes and how we’ve got to be persistent and be willing to have that extraordinary effort and unwavering faith and believe in our dreams to be able to get there. Nothing is going to come easy that’s worth getting. So, we’re going to have to break through. I love like using hero’s journey stuff like we’re going to have to slay dragons internally and externally and having a powerful sound like Animal. Again, you can text the number 33444, the word Animal and that’ll get you a free Animal and then brotha James everywhere.
[00:10:38] Jon: So, let’s pick a song right now. Talk about the meaning of it, dedicate it to somebody and rip it up. What about either Not My Mind or Slowdown?
[00:10:46] brotha James: Yeah.
[00:10:46] Jon: How about Slowdown?
[00:10:47] brotha James: Haven’t done Slowdown in a while.
[00:10:47] Jon: Yeah. Before we play it, set it up. A little bit about the meaning and then we could dedicate it.
[00:10:52] brotha James: Yeah. So, this particular song, Slowdown, is a song about how fast we tend to move as human beings and I don’t want to say as human beings. I’m just going to say myself like when I reflect upon my life, I’ve always moved so quickly and it started in when I was young and then in middle school, it became much more intense and it really is like keeping up with the Joneses, always trying to keep up with everybody else and comparing ourselves to everyone around us. We’re slowing down and really appreciating who we are as individuals and what we bring to our own experience, what we bring to our family, our friends. And I remember when I wrote the chorus which is, “It’s time to slow down and give myself a little love right now.” When I wrote that, I was in a similar place to this, a little closer to the water, pulled up to one of my favorite beaches and I literally just started like falling because I recognize that this song was a musical affirmation to myself that it was a part of my own journey and a part of my own experience that if I wasn’t careful, I would miss this lesson.
And so, I constantly, when a play the song, I’m constantly reflecting upon and measuring, hey, am I slowing down? Does my schedule reflect me slowing down? Does my attitude towards other people reflect me slowing down? And so, it’s like a trigger and a musical affirmation that brings me back to this place of gratitude and this place of appreciation and there’s a line in here, two lines. One is like keeping up with the rest. I remember in high school wanting to keep up with the rest so badly, what I wore, how I talked, how I walked, the accomplishments I have, my grades. It really was intense. So, and that carried with me right into like my career. And then the second verse is, “I got caught up in chasing success. Outside I was so confident. Inside I was a mess.”
[00:12:53] brotha James: So, then we have this unique ability to make everyone on the outside seemed like everything is okay and through achievements or success, we can make them feel like, boy, these people got it all together but no one really has it all together. Everyone has their own things going on inside and the more we’re able to like open up and share some of those things that our strengths, our talents, our wins but also some of our failures, our fears with others, the more we slow down and see that we’re all connected in some magical way instead of like trying to compete with each other all the time.
[00:13:27] Jon: That’s awesome.
[00:13:28] brotha James: So, that’s the long version of the song.
[00:13:29] Jon: I’m going to dedicate this to Yo Pal Hal who at last year’s Best Year Ever Event he chimed in via video from the hospital while he was getting his chemo treatment and he gave a message to everybody about thinking about what matters most in our lives and he’s going to share some of that message at this year’s Best Year Ever Blueprint Event as well. So, Hal, we love you, buddy. We’re sending you strength and thank you for all of the strength that you’ve sent to all of us for so many years, man. Thanks for reminding us courageously to slow down.
[00:14:10] brotha James: Love you, buddy.
[00:14:14] Slow Down (Song)
SInce I was young I’ve been moving fast
Trying to be so cool keep up with the rest
Trophies, popularity and being the best dressed
I even did some hurtful things just to progress
Well I must confess, I was confused
A young kid living in a small town
Just trying to be cool
I was losing myself, losing my truth
I don’t know what it was i was trying to prove
It’s time to slow down and
give myself a little love right now
It’s time to slow down and
give myself a little love right now
I got caught up in chasing success
Outside I was so confident Inside I was a mess
I was stressed out and burned out never taking any time to rest
It seemed the faster that I moved the quicker I regressed
And I’ve been depressed, and the way that I pushed through
I went out and went searching for some brand new tools
Like breathing air deeply, digging into some reading
Remembering life’s a gift and that you and me are free
It’s time to slow down and
give myself a little love right now
It’s time to slow down and
give myself a little love right now
Slow down, I’m moving to fast I’m out of control
Slow down, I’m gonna figure out which way I’m heading
Slow down, it’s time for me to connect to my soul
Fill it up so I can send it out
It’s time to slow down and
give myself a little love right now
It’s time to slow down and
give myself a little love right now
[00:17:04] Jon: That’s beautiful.
[00:17:05] brotha James: Best stuff, man. I never played it like that.
[00:17:08] Jon: We’ve never played it like that. Yeah. It’s kind of my brain was like, “We’ve never played it like that.”
[00:17:12] brotha James: Yeah. It’s usually a lot faster and a lot – but I figured for this audience there’s many of you that have been around the fire with brotha James and…
[00:17:23] Jon: And Jonny B.
[00:17:24] brotha James: And Jonny B. who have heard me played a lot of these songs many a times and it’s fun to mix it up every once a while.
[00:17:30] Jon: It’s fun to mix it up.
[00:17:31] brotha James: It’s something different.
[00:17:31] Jon: Hey, I got an idea.
[00:17:32] brotha James: Yeah.
[00:17:33] Jon: I think we got one more song in this. We got one more song.
[00:17:35] brotha James: Yep. We’re definitely doing the Miracle Morning song.
[00:17:37] Jon: All right. So, that means we got two more songs in this. All right. So, I’d love to share the story about we’ve spent a lot of time in nature together, lots of time in nature. That’s the common bond for us and we could talk about that. We could also talk about how a couple of months ago we were in the car. We’re about to walk into a yoga class and I said, “Jeremy, I am about to play a song for you that you’ve never heard and when you hear this song, it will immediately become your favorite song,” and that’s a big bold claim to make.
[00:18:09] brotha James: It’s a big bold claim.
[00:18:11] Jon: And guess what happened, folks?
[00:18:13] brotha James: It became my favorite song and now – and now I play this song almost every show and the spots that I play it the most, it gets the most amazing response which is what I envisioned as soon as I heard the song. Well, this would be an amazing song to play at music festivals in the middle of the woods. So, recently I played a lot of great music festivals this year. I’m just going to name them because if you watched there, I’m so appreciative. Buttermilk Jamboree, Beaver Island Music Festival, Blissfest Music Festival, Dunesville Music Festival, Summer Microbrew Fest, Harvest Gathering, Empire Hops Festival, so many incredible festivals. I hope I’m not missing any. Harbor Days in Elk Rapids, Traverse City Film Festival. And at many of these what I’ve done is play this song and gotten everyone clapping and the chorus goes, “I’m going back to the earth. I’m going back to the earth. I’m going back to work. I’m going back to the earth. I’m going to the earth. I’m going back to the earth. I’m going back to earth. I’m going back to the earth. I’m going back to the earth. I’m going back to the earth. I’m going back to work. I’m going back to the earth.”
[00:19:43] Back to the Earth (Song)
Whenever my head starts to hurt
Before it goes from bad to feeling worse
I turn off my phone
I get down low
And put my hands in the dirt
I try to stop the world from moving so fast
Try to get a grip on where I’m at
AND simplify
This dizzy life
And put my feet in the grass
[2x]
I’m going back to the earth
I’m going back to the earth
I’m going back to work
I’m going back to the earth
We are animals (we are animals)
We are wild (we are wild)
We started with the motion
At the bottom of the ocean
Now we’re swinging from the tops of the trees
We are animals (we are animals)
We are wild (we are wild)
And to truly be forgiven
We must all get back to living
With the land in harmony
[2x]
I’m going back to the earth
I’m going back to the earth
I’m going back to work
I’m going back to the earth
[00:21:40] brotha James: That’s totally different the way we played it too.
[00:21:45] Jon: There’s another beautiful dog right there taking a walk. Man, that’s great, huh? It’s great.
[00:21:51] brotha James: That was awesome. This has been awesome.
[00:21:52] Jon: It’s been great.
[00:21:52] brotha James: I know we’re to the end of our time and…
[00:21:55] Jon: We’re always on time.
[00:21:56] brotha James: We’re always on time.
[00:21:57] Jon: Brianna requested Abracadabra. All right. Should we finish with Abracadabra and leave…
[00:22:01] brotha James: No. We got to do Miracle Morning.
[00:22:02] Jon: We got to do the Miracle Morning song. All right. Little Abracadabra. Abracadabra, Cadabra. We never explained these shirts. You’ll have to tune in later to find out why we’re wearing this shirt with seagulls on them.
[00:22:16] brotha James: You know what we’re going to do before we do this? Let’s talk about Abracadabra really quick.
[00:22:19] Jon: Abracadabra.
[00:22:20] brotha James: Abracadabra is with these words I create and a lot of us would connect abracadabra to magic and to something that is beyond what reality says it could be. It’s magic. It defies reality. And so, Abracadabra, when I think about the brotha James adventure, I wanted to be a musician when I was younger, when I was really young and when I got out of high school, I had no real connection to music. I thought that going out and having success and making money was going to be the thing that filled me up and I figure everything else out after I had success and made money. And as I got further into that journey, I realize I must pull back to music more and more and more to the point where I could no longer deny that music was my passion and I must pursue it.
And I gave up, as you did, Jon, to pursue your passion in facilitating and bringing AI to the world. You gave up millions of dollars and same thing with myself giving up a very successful in the trajectory of a business giving up millions of dollars over the course of the next decade to pursue a very uncertain risky venture of being a musician. And at the time when I made that decision, I couldn’t sing. I could barely play a guitar one song all the way through. This is 2013. I didn’t even know looping equipment really existed other than watching a couple of performers use it and being like, “Ah, that’s interesting. One guy?” And I had never been the front guy of a band. So, all things that would lead you to say this is impossible. However, abracadabra, here we are now. All I do is play music all over the country and now expanding to the world all because of the words that I chose to use and the thoughts that I chose to believe in and the hard work, the extraordinary effort and unwavering faith that I have, that’s where the magic is.
[00:24:13] brotha James: And if you take one thing away from this lesson or from this episode, a lesson or some sort of an insight, you can do anything you want to do if you’re willing to go for it to take the risk and to work hard and you align yourself with goals and outcomes and adventures in your business life, in your physical life, in your relationship life, in the way you’re going to contribute and you really take the step and take risk to discover who you are and what it is that really makes you tick. Some of you are probably already there and some of you are right in the middle of that transition and some of you are knowing that it’s living deep inside and you’re still searching for what that is. Don’t ever stop to search. The magic is really continuing the journey.
[00:24:54] Jon: And our dedication?
[00:24:56] brotha James: Our dedication is to Brianna.
[00:24:57] Jon: To Brianna.
[00:24:59] brotha James: And to Mr. Ian who help me to come up with the idea of the Abracadabra song.
[00:25:14] Jon: Never heard that before.
[00:25:15] brotha James: It doesn’t really have too many words yet other than the chorus.
[00:25:05] Abracadabra (Song)
I’m feeling good inside
I really love my life
I’m putting out these good vibes every single day
I’m like a shining ray
This is the way I play
Alright, this is just the way
I’m like a maserati, going to use my mind karate
I’ve got these things and now I’m ready to say
With these words I create, abracadabra
Laugh are you ready to play, La la la la la
Let’s make today a great day, with the words that we say
Abracadabra
Abracadabra
I believe in me and I believe in you
I know that we can be, anything I want to be, the same thing for you
We can make our dreams come true into reality
Just put your hands up come on and stand up next to me
We use our mind Karate, like that maserati
and we can be anything that that we want to be
With these words I create, abracadabra
Laugh are you ready to play, La la la la la
Let’s make today a great day, with the words that we say
Abracadabra
Abracadabra
Whenever I feel low, I grab a journal and a blue pen
I think about what it is I”m grateful for
And how it is that I want to spend
My days and my life, I’m going to live alright
I’m going to be the best that I can be, going to see the things that I want to see
With these words I create, abracadabra
Laugh are you ready to play, La la la la la
Let’s make today a great day, with the words that we say
Abracadabra
Abracadabra
[00:28:09] brotha James: That’s for you, Brie.
[00:28:10] Jon: That was sweet, man. That was great.
[00:28:11] brotha James: That was fun. That was really a good one. Good, good times.
[00:28:15] Jon: Our words create our worlds, Jeremy.
[00:28:17] brotha James: Dude.
[00:28:17] Jon: The limits of our language become the limits of our lives.
[00:28:21] brotha James: I totally agree. I did quite a bit of…
[00:28:24] Jon: I just got to have some tweetable quotes.
[00:28:25] brotha James: Tweetable quotes. Yeah. Words create worlds. There’s a whole movement, words change our brain, a book that was written about the power of words and how one word in place of another can shift our ability within our nervous system, our physiology, in our intellectual ability to be able to navigate stress and irritation, anger. Our words are so important. Our words are so important and I’ll invite you to think about the internal dialogue that’s going on in our heads. That’s not always the external dialogue because we can manipulate that especially for salespeople and a lot of you are entrepreneurs on this episode, in this podcast, in this community.
And so, we’re masters at changing the game on the outside because that’s how we create income and create relationships that kind of get us what we need. The game on the inside in our internal dialogue, the words we use to ourselves, that’s a fun place to go and just be an observer of what is our internal dialogue and how might we empower ourselves through the way that we talk to ourselves quietly behind the curtain. So, our words are very important and this is the last TEDx message I gave when you and I, last time we were in that water was in May when you and I went back-to-back on the TEDx stage. I opened the day with the power of musical affirmations where I studied the power of words and music and brought an 18-minute message to the community of Traverse City and then you follow that up with what if one question could…
[00:29:56] Jon: Uplift and unite humanity.
[00:29:58] brotha James: And one thing that has uplifted and united humanity is the Miracle Morning Community, our good friend Hal Elrod who is a warrior, he’s a lover, he’s a father.
[00:30:08] Jon: A giver.
[00:30:08] brotha James: He is a giver. He’s an amazing, he’s an inspirer and he’s an amazing, amazing human being.
[00:30:14] Jon: So, many words that end with -er.
[00:30:17] brotha James: He’s a lover. I already said that one.
[00:30:18] Jon: Wait. He’s a…
[00:30:19] brotha James: So, this one goes out to Hal.
[00:30:23] Jon: Yo Pal, Yo Pal, Yo Pal, coming your way, coming your way today from Traverse City me and JR.
[00:30:36] Miracle Morning (Song)
When Life is Not Where we want it to be
When We getting stressed out with our reality
Walking out the door 10 minutes to late
Driving to a job that’s good not great
We wanna be free, live in harmony
We need a miracle no more mediocrity
We wanna feel great and change our fate
It’s time to make it happen we know what it’s gonna take
This is our miracle morning
We’re waking up to live our dreams
This is our miracle morning
Bring out the best in you and me
This is our miracle morning
We’re waking up to live our dreams
This is our miracle morning
Bring out the best in you and me
Wake up to the full potential
Miracle morning is so essential
Win the morning with the day
Work done early we can play
Change our life and our behavior
Start the day with 6 lifesavers
Time to make a little space
Slow Down Life’s Not a race
Silence is the meditation
Program our thoughts with affirmations
See the future with visualization
The body gets right with activation
The words we read bread what we think
Scribe our words into the ink
Early to bed early to rise
time to be healthy, wealthy and wise
This is our miracle morning
We’re waking up to live our dreams
This is our miracle morning
Bring out the best in you and me
This is our miracle morning
We’re waking up to live our dreams
This is our miracle morning
Bring out the best in you and me
Wake up to who you are
Let go of who you’ve been
Wake up that shining star
And let’s be the best version
This is our miracle morning
We’re waking up to live our dreams
This is our miracle morning
Bring out the best in you and me
This is our miracle morning
We’re waking up to live our dreams
This is our miracle morning
Bring out the best in you and me
