Day 215 – Real Progress

Understanding what real progress is can be somewhat difficult. However, most people can sense when they are improving. The harder thing to understand is how to actually make real progress.

I USED to think real progress was made in a giant leap ahead. A monumentous moment of greatness and once that occurred I could worry about the very trivial details of maintaining what I had accommplished. The problem is that I end up waiting a long time.

NOW I think that I was completely wrong. Real progress comes by regular and routine daily progress. Following this course, I can make significant improvements in as little as 3 months.

So you want to make real progress? Then develop a good habit.
