Better Every Day

Changing even a single aspect of your life takes time, dedication, and effort. Humans are creatures of habit, and once those habits have become deeply ingrained into our psyche.

And yet despite many of us knowing all this intuitively, we still seem to think that we can make huge changes to our lives on a whim.

There is a better solution. It’s called Kaizen.This is the Sino-Japanese word for “improvement” and it has adapted to represent a specific approach to improvement.

One where you make tiny improvements, take tiny steps, toward the goal that you are working towards.

All of us have goals and aspirations, and perfect versions of ourselves that we imagine. We all want to have better abs, better teeth, more confidence, and more money.

And every now and then, we get sick of just “wanting” those things and we endeavor to do something about it.

We approach our goals in the completely the wrong way. We are looking for drastic change. We want to see immediate results.

But that’s not how improvement really works.

In Japan, there is a concept known as “kiazen.” It comes from the world of manufacturing, and it basically describes “continually improvement.”

What is meant by that, is the process of making small, incremental changes, which can add up to huge benefits.
