I have a philosophy on life. It\u2019s a simple philosophy. Pretty darn basic, in fact. It goes like this \u2026 \u201cLittle by little, a little becomes a lot.\u201d I stumbled upon this quote in a fitness book when I was about 27 years old. Back then, I wanted to be the world\u2019s most renowned strength and conditioning coach. But I wanted it to happen overnight. I wanted it now. But there was something about that \u201clittle by little\u201d quote that shifted my perspective on not only what I thought was my calling at the time, but about life in general.\xa0 I thought, if I put in the work, if I did the little things every day, then in due time those little things would add up and get me to where I wanted to be. Every day I could move myself closer to the goal \u2026 or not move closer to the goal. The choice was mine.\xa0 As I mentioned at the end of QOD #007, if you were to commit to reading just one hour a day, every day, you\u2019d accumulate a little over nine 40-hour weeks of reading in a year\u2019s time. Just one hour! So consider that thing you\u2019ve been keeping yourself from doing because you think you \u201cdon\u2019t know enough.\u201d\xa0 Would you still not know enough if you studied it for 1 hour a day, 365 hours in a year, or nine 40-hour weeks? The truth is, you\u2019d probably know more about your topic of study than 99 percent of the population. Little by little, you\u2019d become an expert.\xa0 Or, you could not do the little things every day and stay exactly where you are.\xa0 Like I said, it\u2019s a simple philosophy. On today\u2019s episode of The Quote of The Day Show, the late Jim Rohn talks about the power of adopting your own personal philosophy. \u201cThe formula for success is a few simple disciplines practiced every day.\u201d\xa0 Today\u2019s QOD clip comes from Mr. Rohn\u2019s audio program, The Art of Exceptional Living, available for instant mp3 download\xa0at www.nightingale.com.

Happy Monday, Sean \xa0\n\nSupport this podcast at \u2014 https://redcircle.com/the-quote-of-the-day-show-daily-motivational-talks/donations\n\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
