How long would it take to fill this text box I’m typing in with useful information?
I bet it’s not long. 5 minutes? 10 minutes? it’s 8:30 am now, and I started typing at 8:29 am.
Amazing things happen when the results of our actions begin to pile on top of one another. One day rolls into the next, one minute rolls into the next. We don’t usually live or die in quantum leaps… we live or die by inches. By moments.
And those quantum leaps we do experience? They are the result of what we did with the seconds that came before – tiny thoughts, words, and deeds that finally reached a critical mass and exploded into something bigger than they once were.
Jim Rohn had a great recipe for success – a few simple disciplines practiced every day. He also had a great recipe for disaster – a few simple things neglected on a daily basis.
What is one thing that you could start doing today that, if you began to practice it on a daily basis, would bring you the health, the wealth, the happiness you deserve?
It doesn’t have to be a big thing. If you’re lacking in the exercise department, how about a 5 minute walk? If you’ve neglected your spirituality, how about 5 minutes of prayer and/or meditation? If you’ve neglected your finances, can you move just one percent, 1/2 of one percent, 1/10th of one percent, of your income into a savings account?
Then do it again tomorrow… and the day after… and the day after.
But you’ve got to get started today. It’s all you’ve got.
8:35 am – 6 minutes – and now there’s something useful here to share with the world.
