The accumulation of small successes makes the process, um, maybe not fun, but definitely rewarding—and that’s all you need to keep going. And somehow, without noticing when it happens, you stop thinking about following your routine for three months or six months or a year. You just think about that day and what you will do that day. Somehow, without noticing when it happens, you embrace the routine and not the goal. Every day you get to feel good about yourself, and that sense and feeling of accomplishment motivates you to do it all over again the next day.
