John,
I am absolutely blessed to be able to run for president. I was recently asked about how I keep my perspective day-to-day, and I think part of the answer to that is my morning routine.
I’ve often said that your habits determine your life. The formula I try to remember is TSA: think, speak, and act.
-
So if I’m going to think right, I first have to immerse myself in the Gospel every morning. I read a chapter from the Bible, then I do a couple of devotionals.
-
Throughout the day, I make an effort to speak in a way that reflects what I just read.
-
And then I act in a way that is consistent with what I read and said, because faith without works is dead.
I’ll also listen to music to put my mind in the right place, then I read conservative publications like the Wall Street Journal or The Washington Times. I like that they don’t teach me what I should be thinking. Instead, they lay out the facts so I can come to my own conclusions. All those things stimulate intellectual curiosity and growth.
So that’s what I consider the beginning of my day. This daily routine is what shapes my worldview, John.
It starts the same way and has for several years now. That gives me a peace that transcends understanding and gives me the ability to remember that the Lord is in control.
For each and every person running for president or running at home, our faith guides us. It directs us. And it is visible in what we talk about or what we don't talk about. So the truth of the matter is whether you believe or whether you don't believe - you believe in something, you have faith in something, even if it's just yourself.
I’m very open that I believe America can do for anyone what she has done for me. I’m running for President to restore faith and hope, create new opportunities, and protect the America we love.
If you agree with all this, will you chip in to support my presidential campaign? Anything you can spare will make a critical difference for my mission and the future of our nation.
Have a wonderful day and God Bless!
Tim Scott
