A Quote for your day
“Aim at something profound and noble and lofty. If you can find a better path along the way, once you have started moving forward, then switch course. Be careful, though; it is not easy to discriminate between changing paths and simply giving up. In this manner, you will zigzag forward. It is not the most efficient way to travel, but there is no real alternative, given that your goals will inevitably change while you pursue them, as you learn what you need to learn while you are disciplining yourself.
- Jordan B. Peterson
We can be better – why would we not choose to?
Because so often, the better path of improvement, the path of growth is hard. It’s difficult. It’s awful.
But the long-term rewards are best.
The idea that we can improve 1% each day is the way forward – that we should have profound and lofty goals. But we can attain them through 1% improvement each day. Don’t get trapped in thinking each thing must be done at once – you can do it a piece at a time.
