How much do you love this Chinese Proverb?
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now”.
So good, yes?
What do you wish you had started 5 years ago that you had continued right through to today?
- Small monthly contribution to an investment plan?
- 5 minute morning journalling habit?
- Weekly phone call to your Gran for 10 minutes?
- Joined Wellbeing Warriors and done the 2-minute daily challenge each day
- Stopped eating processed sugar or drinking alcohol?
- 7000 steps a day whatever the weather
Who would you BE now if you had done those things every day/week/month for the last 5 years? If they were baked into your being and your life now? How would your body/bank account/happiness/connection be after 1825 days / 60 months / 260 weeks of continuous low-level investment?
Literally WHO WOULD YOU BE NOW?
Whoever she is, remember that proverb we started with
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now”.
And start today.
Here is the perfect image for this principle:
