Do Instead of Don’t Do

If you could stop, you would.

If you could stop smoking right now, you probably would. If you could stop eating from the vending machine at work, you probably would. If you could stop eating the delicious party mix, you probably would.

Relative to not doing, doing is much easier.

But, a funny thing happens when you start doing new things. You eventually find that you’re not doing some of the things you did before. There isn’t room for everything, something has to go. New habits replaced the old.

And if you’re always pursuing better, your new habits will always be better than the old.

Never perfect, but always better.
