Golden Rule #2

True security is found by committing yourself to improving one aspect of your life each day.

Wow, now that’s something people need to learn. If you take this approach then it becomes difficult to complain. After all your life today would be better than it was yesterday and that’s great. Too often we hear people complain about their life and how they wish things were different/better etc. But small steps add up so if they tried each day for some little improvement then their life would be better.

So where to start? Well you can always start with the closest - yourself. I have tried over the years to improve myself (not to someone else’s standard though) and I can definitely say that I am a different, better stronger person for it. I would be a little worried if I had remained the same person for decades. But so many people put no thought into who they are and whether they are who they want to be.

Or what about your health? Again small steps. Those people who try to do the crash diet thing usually have the hardest time because they are trying to dramatically change a lot of things all at once. If instead they focused on changing one small thing each day so that each day they ate healthier than the day before… hmm, the possibilities.

This rule has profound implications. Imagine someone who successfully improved their life in some way every day of their life. What a life that would be. Imagine what your life could be.
