When events occur in our lives, we often credit luck, circumstances, or fate. However, the truth is that the outcomes are determined by the choices we make, especially the small ones. Every choice guides us toward either success or failure.

The slight edge is not just a lifestyle choice; it’s always present, either working for us or against us. While its effects may not be immediate, over time, they become evident. To make the slight edge work in our favor, we must understand a crucial message: the choices we make daily either support or hinder us in the long run.

To harness the benefits of the slight edge, we must assess whether our choices align with success or failure. One approach is examining our predominant state of mind. Those on the path to failure tend to blame external factors, while successful individuals take responsibility for their circumstances. By focusing on how to respond, even in unfair situations, we position ourselves better to achieve our goals.

Another determinant of success or failure is our focus. Do we dwell in the past, using regrets as a weapon, or do we concentrate on building our future? Successful people learn from the past to shape their future positively.

Consider your health: are your daily habits contributing to improvement or decline? Evaluate other aspects of life, such as happiness, career, and relationships, with an honest self-assessment. Remember, there are only two destinations – success or failure. If you’re not on the path to success, you’re heading toward failure.
