DAY THIRTY-SIX | Why Daily?

Today is a simple reminder that our focus needs to be on a daily commitment to personal growth.

Those who get really good at focusing every day on little things will soon discover that they can do more and then more.

But it doesn’t take much distraction to pull us away from our well-formed habits … and it also seems to take a large amount of effort to pick those habits back up again. So what helps us stay committed?

For me, it’s reminders. Reminders that each and every day there is something I can change for the better. In my thinking, my actions, or my conversations, I need to do something every day.

So today and every day, let’s be deliberate. Let’s purposefully choose to engage study and thought, whether we feel like it or not. Let’s persistently choose to do the simple exercises provided in this book, whether it seems like we have time for them or not. Let’s steadfastly commit to being in control of our interior monologue and to encouraging our own self-talk towards the positive and uplifting side of the spectrum. Let’s tirelessly pursue the idea that we can indeed become all that we are created to be.
