The Compound Effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices

If you haven’t already clearly defined your values, you may find yourself making choices that conflict with what you want. If, for example, honesty is a big thing for you, but you hang out with liars, there’s a conflict. When your actions conflict with your values, you’ll end up unhappy, frustrated, and despondent. In fact, psychologists tell us that nothing creates more stress than when our actions and behaviors aren’t congruent with our values.

Since your outcomes are all a result of your moment-to-moment choices, you have incredible power to change your life by changing those choices. Step by step, day by day, your choices will shape your actions until they become habits, where practice makes them permanent.

If you truly want to be successful, spend less time following the lives of other people and more time leading your own.

It’s time to WAKE UP and make empowering choices.

What’s easy to do, is also easy not to do.

Lack of true progress may not be a result of not doing what one is supposed to, but lack of focused effort trying not to do too much.
