Achieving consistent progress is a simply a process of managing addition and reduction. Piece by piece, step by step, minute by minute the more daily wins we can achieve the faster the progress towards one's goals.

We must learn to fall in love with this process and accept that like ocean waves, there are ebbs and flows, sometimes its a struggle going against the current and other times a tsunami projects us towards our destination further and faster than we ever thought possible. The potential for change is inevitable at any time. The same applies to daily life.

It's important not to over-obsess about the smallest of details as everything is in a process of constant change. This is just how it is. This is in the nature of all things. Just focus on the things within your control.

Regardless of rough seas, remain focused in your aim and maintain course with an unwavering conviction. If a new course is necessary, re-focus, re-direct and attack from a different angle (potentially a redirected mindset or prospective) but don't stray to far from your original journey.

There will be times when progress is slow and painful but we must as best we can cultivate multiple small daily wins. These over the course of months and years compound into significant positive change and personal growth.

For example, in the same way a sculptor must consistently and consciously chip away at the block in order to one day reveal their final masterpiece. It takes great effort, time, patience and dedication to achieve the ultimate expression of our best possible self. This lifelong goal is essentially an infinite process, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day the aim should be to as best as we can to unlock and unleash your ultimate potential and become a better new and improved version of oneself.

Who we are today will theoretically be superseded by our future improved self. Piece by piece you will find the pieces to the puzzle to achieve the full picture. Step by step you will become closer and closer to greatness.
