We underestimate the power of good daily habits.  Yes, it might feel good to do whatever you want to do, when you want to do it.  To push the harder decisions down the road (“I’ll diet/save/workout/spend time with family tomorrow”).

But the reality is that good daily habits are more likely to get you to the place you want to be instead of depending on the “once in a lifetime” event to fix what might not be working in your life.

So imagine who you want to be 20 years from now. What will you be doing, who are the people you want to be with? What do you want your normal day to be like? With that in mind, make sure every thing you do today gets you closer, and do the same thing tomorrow.

Life is usual about basic blocking and tackling. It’s rarely won by the Hail Mary pass.
