A Quote to Remind You to Take Action on Something Important Daily
You ever go all in on something with extreme effort only to exhaust yourself before you reach your goal? This is more common than you think. Most people assume they are different than everyone else when it comes to how much they can do before they burnout. Then as the frustration of burnout sets in, they act surprised.
It’s a simple fact that it’s much better to get into a sustainable rhythm with a routine you can maintain over the long run than to go all out with an extreme effort that causes burnout. So why do so many people choose to go on rollercoaster rides instead? A simple quote explains it best:
Most people overestimate what they can do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a lifetime.
There are no microwaves for goals. No matter how hard you try, you can’t cram something into a day that takes most people 4 years. No need to burn yourself out trying.
Unquestionably, this quote is the perfect reminder of this. Indeed, instead of trying to cram your life into a few frustrating days, you must instead approach each day with a goal to take sustainable action on something important. It doesn’t matter how small that action is. If you commit to taking action daily, your progress will compound in a lifetime faster and more efficiently than trying to cram all of your work into a few days once in a while.
