Did you know that if you’re flying from LA to NY and adjust your flight by just 3.5 degrees, you’d land in Washington D.C. instead of New York? This is a great example of how even the smallest changes in direction can lead to massive differences in outcome over time—just like how small shifts in our daily habits can shape our future.
I’ve talked about the importance of habits before, but today I want to dive deeper into how they really impact our lives. We often think of habits as things that take a long time to form, and it’s easy to forget that change doesn’t happen overnight.
But here’s the thing: if we improve ourselves by just 1% each day for a year, we would see a 37.78% improvement in our lives. That’s a powerful result from just a small, daily commitment to getting better.
The takeaway is clear: small, consistent improvements—whether it’s eating a little healthier, getting a bit more exercise, or staying focused for a few extra minutes—add up over time. Each small change compounds, building momentum toward bigger success.
So, what can you do today to start improving just 1%? Those small adjustments, when made consistently, will guide you to where you want to be in the future.
