The golden middle
Why is it
always so difficult to find the ying-yang line? This fine path on the knifes
edge. Or as my mum always calls it: “The golden middle”. I think
because we are humans and we can only aim for improving daily a bit. I once
read that we should aim every day for just 1 % better. This means than that we
should just be a little bit better than we were yesterday. And I think that is
doable, no?
I focus my attention in the last weeks on “the process”. That means
for me thinking less about the big picture and what needs to be done. In
exchange to I try to just do more important/good tasks.
I really implement the 2 minute rule here a lot. For me this means to do
everything that will take 2 minutes or less directly.
I will not lie. Many days I fail totally. But there are also more of the days
where I am just way more productive than I have ever been before. I am still
far away from all the famous people you read of. But I think I am at least 1 %
better than I have been yesterday. And I try my best to keep improving daily,
step by step.
Keeping in mind this quote I like a lot: “Every day is a new life to a
wise man.”
I hope that you will find the energy to just try the same, improving just 1 %
daily.
Lots of love
Alexander
