first KEY POINT

You shouldn’t let current trends frustrate your growth

Today’s world gravitates toward complex lifestyles in a bid to have a perfect body, the happiest of relationships, the most enjoyable work experience, and so on. However, over time, many people find it difficult to sustain the sort of energy and mental state that these regimens entail. And before long, they find themselves breaking their diet, sabotaging the well-planned one-month strategy to improve their work and personal relationships.

In other words, the world we live in today encourages the average human to fly before learning to walk. The end result, as you would expect, is catastrophic. People go back to their not too good lifestyle in no time. In light of this, this bite-sized book is a guide that will help you focus on the small choices that accumulate to either compound problems or solutions.

You are faced with daily questions, and your answers to these questions eventually mold the outlook of your day.

For instance, you could choose to stay glued at home watching TV or you could hit the gym and workout. Choices and options like these litter our thought process every day. The decision to either ditch that favorite TV show or your workout session are what separates winners from those that always find themselves experiencing a streak of losses. As such, this summary focuses on the small details that would eventually help you own your day.Rather than take you on a rollercoaster, which will inevitably tire you, the author has created realistic guides that will help you improve your day. It doesn’t matter that you adopt the practices highlighted on a daily basis. Neither does it matter if it is just for one day. The important thing is to realize that you can improve your day, that there is a working formula that could liberate you from the chaos you subject your life to.
