In his epic book The ONE Thing, Gary Keller talks about the idea that you don’t need willpower as much as you need the ability to build small habits that take you where you want to go. For example, at the beginning of this year I started a diet and exercise campaign that I used to lose over 50lbs so far this year. I started by walking two miles every morning but I didn’t need the willpower to do that, I just needed to form the habit of putting on walking clothes first thing in the morning and not talking them off until after my walk. Makes sense? If not, Gary will explain it better!
