If you do the right thing, right now, you won’t see the results today. Or even tomorrow. It may be weeks from now, often months.

-“Right” not in the metaphysical ethical sense, but the alignment sense. Right in the way that makes getting out of bed feel like a gift. Right in the way that the idea of today makes you smile -

The delayed activation, that slow emergence of consequences can make the action seem inconsequential or sometimes wasteful.

But you do it long enough, consistently enough, you will be living the version of your life flooded with the benefits of your actions. The present is the cosmic sum of your past. This all encompassing arithmetic considers the actions of everyone and everything. Which, largely, you have no influence over. But you have significant influence over yourself. Your tools for affecting that universal calculus are with you , forever.

I’m not even going to ask you to do the math. I’m not going to ask you to run the numbers. I’ve already done them. You have no cognitive labor today. All I ask is that you act in your favor today. Please. Remember me. We’re going to build you a life you’ll love. You’re going to build it. You’re already doing it.

Keep going.
