Yo, today's QOD is small, poor choices compound over time.

Here we go. Oh, Welcome back to the Quot of the Day Show. I'm your host Sean Croixson and Sean Croixson.

We have Darren Hardy on the show for your motivation Monday and today Darren is going to talk about something called the compound

effect and this is so important which is why I put it on a Monday. Everybody needs to

understand this because sometimes I don't think we realize how these

small choices or non-choices that we make every single day can cause suffering in our lives as these choices

and non choices build up over time. And it reminds me of something I learned about in

college called creeping obesity, which means that every day you choose to get the high sugar coffee with a croissant on the side and

then for lunch you have some fast food probably has tons of, lots of not so good fats, and then for dinner you might

have something that's, you know, kind of healthy.

And you do this every day for 365 days and by the end of that year you're five pounds heavier.

And you might say to yourself, oh you know it's only five pounds I can get rid of

that easy but here's the thing you make these same choices the next

year along with a non choice which is to not exercise which is to not go to the gym which is to not get your steps in.

And as you continue making these choices and these non-choices,

by the end of two years you're 10 pounds heavier.

By the end of four years you're 20 pounds heavier and now you're like oh my

God like how did this happen? Well what happened because you made these small minute

seemingly insignificant choices over and over again, and little by little, those

little's became a lot. And so what we need to do is become aware of these choices. What are we doing? What are the choices and non-choices that we're making and replace those with better choices? And when you replace them with better choices then over a period of time

you're gonna get better results while creating a better habit.

Darren Hardy is coming up. Let's take three friends, and they're all starting out about the same.
