Let’s start by imagining a plane taking off from Los Angeles and heading to New York City. The pilot puts in all the right info and takes off in the right direction. But what if the pilot accidentally shifts the course just a tiny bit, like only a few feet? Nobody, not even the pilot or passengers, notices this small change. As they travel across the United States, they end up in Washington DC, not New York City.

Like the pilot, we often don’t notice small changes in our lives. Small changes don’t make a big difference right away. If you’re not in good shape and you go for a short 20-minute run today, you won’t magically become fit tomorrow. Eating a big pizza for dinner won’t make you overweight overnight. But if you keep doing these small things every day, they add up to significant results. Eating pizza every day for a year can make you gain a lot of weight, and running for 20 minutes every day can make you fitter, even if you don’t see the change happening. The main idea here is that small habits can have a big impact on your life, even if you don’t notice it right away. You only see the results after a while.

We understand that not seeing results can be discouraging. If you’re feeling down because you don’t see immediate positive changes, it’s crucial to focus on the path you’re on rather than the results you see now. Imagine you have a small amount of money in the bank, but you’re saving every month. Your current results might not look impressive, but if you keep going, you’ll see a big improvement in a few months or years. When you feel like you’re not making progress, remember you’re doing the right things and moving in the right direction.
