Most of us stay stuck in our every day routines.
We do the same thing, day after day, never changing or improving but always hoping that things get better on their own.
And whenever we do decide to change it feels like we need to do the superman jump over a building, which is something we cannot do.
We try to go too far too fast and fail (See 90% of New Year’s Resolutions).
Success is all about taking one tiny step every day rather than making a giant leap once a year!
It’s the tiny improvement that triggers success.
Waking up a minute earlier today, working a minute longer, drinking another glass of water or calling one more person.
One thing at a time, one step at a time, over a long enough period is bound to give you success.
You cannot learn to play Beethoven’s 9th Symphony in a day without ever having taken any violin classes.
It takes daily, consistent practice!
We all know this, yet most of us don’t do it.
But I promise you that if you just think about what small step you can take for the upcoming day and review it at the end of the day, you will reach success sooner or later.
At the beginning of the day think about what step you can take today to make this day better than the last.
Take one step only. Do not overburden yourself or you will cease to try!
Take that small step and the small victory that comes with it and be content with that.
And then do the same tomorrow!
Add to that a review you do at the end of the day. Reflect on what went well, what did not, and how you can make more out of the good things and change or remove the bad ones.
That is all!
It’s the one improvement, the one tiny change at the end of the day, the one new thing that you attempt tomorrow, and the one small step you take today that really matters.
Try . Harder.
Stay grounded
