Great Habits are Powerful
Habits are powerful. Habits do not discriminate and their outcomes are predictable. If you get in the habit of exercising, you can predict your health will improve. If you get in the habit of reading, you can predict your knowledge will grow. If you get in the habit of saving money, you can predict your freedom will grow and your security will increase.
Making Your Choices Count
Whether small or big, our choices make a difference. Basic economics reveals the fewer resources one has the more important it is to make good choices with them. Small choices made repeatedly over time can have large consequences.
