Book : The Slight Edge



A simple truth from this inspiring book. But not easy to follow consistently. The principle :

"Simple little disciplines that, done consistently over time, will add up to the biggest accomplishments." eg read 20 pages of a good book a day and you would have read 24 books of life transforming materials a year. Or exercise several times a week consistently and over a year, imagine the enormous health benefits reaped.

However here's the problem - every action that is easy to do is also easy not to do. And if you don't do them, you won't suffer, or fail, or wreck your health ... at least not today. And not doing it is usually more comfortable than doing it.

So if you don't exercise today, nothing will happen to you and you would lose your muscle tone suddenly. BUT .. over time when that seemingly insignificant error in judgement and inaction is COMPOUNDED over time, it will take you down and out.

The Slight Edge - you can make it work for you, or the Slight Edge will work against you!
