![]() ![]() If you have little money in the bank but you are saving something each month, then you can be confident that your trajectory is right. So if you find that your behaviors and habits don’t seem to be paying off, try to focus on your current trajectory rather than your current results. If you want to make a positive change in your life, you should recognize that change requires patience, as well as confidence that your habits are keeping you on the right trajectory – even if you aren’t seeing immediate results. Go jogging for 20 minutes every day, and you’ll eventually be leaner and fitter, even though you won’t have noticed the change happening. Eat pizza every day, and it’s likely you will have gained considerable weight after a year. But if we repeat small behaviors day after day, our choices compound into major results. Conversely, if you eat a family-size pizza for dinner, it won’t make you overweight overnight. If you are out of shape today, and go for a 20-minute jog, you’ll still be out of shape tomorrow. We don’t notice tiny changes, because their immediate impact is negligible. But over the course of a journey across the country, the impact of the change would be considerable, and the confused passengers would alight from their plane in Washington, DC, not New York. Outside of the cockpit, no one on board would notice the small movement. If, during takeoff, the pilot decided to adjust course 3.5 degrees to the south, the plane’s nose would move just a few feet. Imagine a plane taking off from Los Angeles en route to New York.
