I write regularly about momentum. I hold it in high regard because I’m a big believer in the value of small, consistent actions adding up over time. In other words, compound interest—not just in finance, but in all areas of life.
But what happens on the days when we don’t feel it, when we’re unwell, when circumstances are out of our control, and we’ve been thrown for a loop?
We should just do what we can.
Without judgement or admonishment for missing the high bar we set for ourselves.
It’s more effective to slow down from a gallop to trot than to fall off the horse altogether.
Momentum matters. Just do what you can. Yesterday ended last night, and tomorrow is a new day.
