𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒: “Do you think you could improve yourself—your health, your happiness, your knowledge, your skills, your diet, your relationships, your finances, whatever area of life you want to look at—just 1 percent’s worth per day? That’s so slight an edge, you might not even know quite how to measure it. But if you did that again tomorrow, and the next day, and kept it up every day for the next year? Your level of achievement in a year’s time would be not doubled but more than tripled.
This is why people quit the gym, skip their assignments, or don’t bother with thank-you notes. When they don’t see or feel results or changes quick enough they think “what good is feeling 0.03 times slimmer or 0.03 times more fit? Why bother?” Yet by pursuing the course and adding just one penny (or workout or class or positive thought) a day, by the end of the year you would be more than three times as fit, three times as happy, three times as knowledgeable, three times as skilled, three times the you, in just one year.
