"The greatest thing in the world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving"- Oliver Wendel Homes
In older posts I have referred to the idea of where we are at any moment as our current state. By that I mean the level at which we are along different dimensions such as: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial, interpersonal, focus, discipline, urgency, etc.
The quote above warns that more than the state, which is never ideal, we should focus on the direction we are moving in. For example, if I have not been working out much then my state might be a 3 out of 10. Now I can settle for that level or figure out how to nudge myself to a 4.
The key is to not be content with your current state and to always have a plan on how to move yourself from your current state= current equilibrium. just by moving a but you might reach a better equilibrium that is much much better than where you are currently.
Today's question is:
"How do you move yourself from your current state?"
