The slight edge

Good morning everyone.

Today I want to have a look at a principle  called the slight edge and discuss how we can utilise this idea to make quantum leaps in progress in any area of knowledge that we desire.

The principle of the slight edge is that performing a simple and easy to do discipline every single day will result in a compound effect of progress with staggering long term results.
An example of this is a person who goes for a run in the morning. Will this person become fit by going for a 10 minute run once? I am sure that everyone will agree that they will not.

However, if this same person goes for a 10 minute run every day, will he soon be able to run faster and for longer and be regarded as a fit person? I think everyone has to agree that this is the case.

Is running for 10 minutes a day out of the 24 hours  (1440 minutes) easy or hard? I think everyone who is fair minded and keen to actually make positive change would have to agree that it is easy.

The key to the slight edge is that it is easy to do AND easy NOT to do.

It has been said that dedicating just one hour a day to studying a subject will result in becoming a worldwide expert on the subject being studied.

Running was merely an example. The principle can be applied to whatever you want to achieve. Remember though, you can apply it to multiple things at the same time.

I hope that this post has been both enjoyable and educational.

Have a blessed day and I will hopefully be back in the next day or two with a new post.
