Have you ever thought about the daily, sometimes insignificant choices that you make? What do you do first thing in the morning? Why? Just because that's what you have always done and you really have never thought about doing it a different way?
What if you were to think about the choices you make every day and actually CHOOSE to make sure that the small daily disciplines of life are actually benefiting you and not harming you. For example, do you eat sweets every night while watching TV for a few hours? Do you do this just because you always have?
What if you choose to change the process and eat some fruit while you read a book??? Small choices compound over time. Think of the long term effects of the two choices above. The TV and sweets over five years will gain you some weight and probably very little to no knowledge. The fruit and a book will gain loads of knowledge and better health!
We make small choices every day that compounded over time to create a huge outcome. What you eat, what you do with your time, how active you are or are not all add up. You have the option to make these choices without thinking and see how well they add up or you can make conscious choices that you purposely expect to compound in a positive way!
This book has opened my eyes to exactly HOW big of an impact small purposeful choices can make in the long run. The book uses the "magical penny" as an illustration. A small insignificant penny compounded over time makes a huge difference!
A single penny that doubles every day for 31 days gives you $5.3 million! But you don’t see the big effect until about day 26 or more! Banks get rich off compound interest, so we should know that it is important! Compound choices work the same way, but in your favor if you make them.
Remember....this is a time thing. Small choices now for a huge payoff later. Like in the penny example above, how often do we stop on day five because it appears we only have $0.16 and we focus on the now and never look to day 31! I encourage you to start looking to day 31 and beyond!! I also encourage you to go get this book!
