Progress is the ultimate goal
It is my desire that the articles I write help you achieve the goals you seek in life. But most times, reading the article does not immediately translate into the goal, it forms a decision in the mind of you the reader to do something, and that is what I want my article of today to inspire you to.
To make progress no matter how small it looks today is better than waiting till tomorrow. The goal you seek should be there, but what you need to find every day is progress. Do something no matter how small it is so that you move closer to the goal you seek. Desire to always make progress no matter how small and that would lead you ultimately to the goal.
The progress you imagine versus the progress you ultimately make every day might not align. But be able to look at yourself and genuinely say you made some progress today. Seek to always make progress every day. That would ultimately lead you there.
How can I make progress every day you might ask? One way I have found to improve every day is to do whatever it is I am doing a little better. Spend an extra few minutes on whatever you are doing. If you are trying to improve in doing research, spend a little more time while doing research today. Most times, the extra time I spend is on doing the same thing, but trying to do it even better.
It might be reviewing the documents you prepared one last time before you send it out, or it might just be calling someone you care about. It can be anything you want it to be. You simply need to spend a little more time. Imagine that you spend time on all activities every day. Some more than others. It can be said that you spend zero time on every activity you did not do.
To improve, simply spend a little more time on where you want to make progress. Start with that and do not stress it. If you are unable to make progress in one day, it is fine. But never try to go two days in a row without making progress in an area you want to improve upon. This is an idea I learned from the book called Atomic Habits.
So whatever this article makes you go achieve today, remember to keep making progress. Progress is the ultimate goal. Thanks and God bless
