EASY TO, easy not to...

...this is the nub of whether we succeed or not. What is success? Having a design for your life and then pulling that off. It revolves around decisions and actions which are often both easy to do and easy not to do. It's a push-shove match - which will win? The discipline of doing the thing or the neglect of not? Making that call is easy to do; it's also easy not to do; walking around the block is easy to do; it's also easy not to do; eating five fruits a day is easy to do; it's also easy not to do. Easy to, easy not to. If you don't make that call today, will there be a noticeable difference 24 hours later? The answer is: no. If you don't exercise today, will there be a difference 24 hours later? The answer is: of course not. But compounded over time? The difference is huge. So, the difference between success and failure are the daily decisions we make - we either choose the disciplines repeated every day, or we make errors in judgement repeated every day. The first can be uncomfortable - today, but lead to comfort tomorrow. The second can be comfortable today - but lead to discomfort tomorrow. But 24 hours after they're made - you can't tell the difference; over time, the difference is obvious and in some cases, irreversible.

Easy to...easy not to.
