Thursday's BOLD LAW "Do what you have always done & you will get what you have always gotten!"
Here is another old saying that needs some work. It's another version of today's BOLD LAW of doing what you've always done leads you to getting what you've always gotten "Practice makes perfect!".
Nope, uh-uh , wrong. If you are practicing something incorrectly, you are perfecting the wrong technique. You are reinforcing a bad habit! All those hours of incorrect practice are not going to bring you better results.
Say this instead "PERFECT practice makes perfect!". Big difference. As you perfectly practice anything, now, you are honing in on your craft. Now, like an Olympic athlete, you are making little improvements that once they are layered on top of each other, you are on your way to your version of your own Gold medal!
Go make just a little change, a small tweak in a habit you are doing already.
I can find something everyday to get just 1% better at and improve some facet of my life. That small adjustment done everyday makes me better. In fact, in the book "Atomic Habits", they extrapolated that out over a year that at 1 % improvement for 365 days, I would be 37% better than I am today. That is significant!
Or, I can just remain status quo and be complacent and satisfied where I am...doing what I've always done and get the same old results.
Nope, not gonna happen! Please join me in the quest for never ending improvement!
Let me know what 1% change you are working on today!
