Well said! It's also doing things now to put yourself in a better position later. The little things like picking up some trash off the counter as you're walking by, then later you see some crumbs on the counter so you wash it off with a rag, now when you walk by next, the counter is clean and you didn't have to spend hours sorting through the piles of garbage and various food products that have spilled onto the counter over the last week. Small progress made on a daily basis. 

Great post 👍
