Yesterday You Said Tomorrow. Just Do It.

If you always do what you’ve done, you will always get what you’ve got.

I love this quote.

I feel it puts the onus on the individual to be the change they want to be.

Whether it is making a tweak to your finances or adding a little fitness into your life or cutting back on those pesky unnecessary snacks at nighttime. Whatever it may be, it is up to you to make the change.

Start small and be consistent. It isn’t going to be easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it.

It can be hard to grasp the fact that something that grows exponentially can become so valuable that it’s worth making an extraordinary effort to get it started.

In finance, this could be adding a little more money to your saving and investing accounts. Over the long run this will have a huge impact but at first it will be difficult to see the progress you’re making because this will take time.

For our health it can be something as simple as trying to get more sleep or taking a daily walk. Plus you get the added benefits of undirected thinking when walking or running. This can be powerful.

Also, these changes can be hard to make if you’re surrounded by people that aren’t interested in improving their lot in life or are generally pessimistic most of the time. So finding a colleague, friend, or getting your partner onboard to keep you motivated is a great idea.

If you’re like me and find it hard to branch out and find like minded people to talk to and get motivated together then try to find people you admire for the things they’ve done recently or are currently doing. This works well for me. These people can be anybody you like, musicians, actors, sports people or business leaders past and present.

As Warren Buffet once said,

”It’s very important who your heroes are in life. Tell me who your heroes are, I’ll tell you how you’re going to turn out.”
