You only need to get 1% better

One habit, one small change, one single percent — and everything in your life can change.

I remember reading in a book the following exercise.

Take a minute and ask yourself this question: is there something you can do, in the next 5 minutes, that would drastically change your life for WORSE?

My brain came up with dozens!

• Run into oncoming traffic
• Rob the local gas station
• Eat all of the cookies in our cabinet (this one might not be as bad, but it still counts!)

See how easy that was? Now, why can’t we use that same power in a positive way?

The change you make doesn’t have to be drastic and it doesn’t have to be costly. But it does have to happen now. Change only appears as though it lives in the future. In reality, it is firmly cemented in the present.

All you have to do is the next right thing.
