Should You Take Huge Steps To Achieve Your Goals?
The drive to improve oneself is something that should always be commended. If you make a habit of self-improvement, then this of course increases the likelihood that you will succeed over time.
This in turn should hopefully lead to you being more efficient, happier, healthier, more confident etc. The better you get, the better you are at taking on life and the better life gets. But there are many ways of approaching this topic of self-improvement and many people will approach this effort in the wrong way.
Why slow and steady wins the long race? It's because breaking out of new habits and introducing new habits into our routine are both things that are very difficult and that require a lot of effort.
Habits form due to repetition which eventually strengthens connections in the brain and makes those connections much stronger to the point where they almost fire automatically. It's like creating a deep groove and then running water along the surface - it gravitates to the groove.
If you're trying to change that habit, then you're going to be exerting a lot of energy to go against this natural inclination each time you perform that action. This in turn means that you need a lot of focus and willpower if you're going to be successful.
