The Value Of A Day
The True Value And Costs Of Our Daily Choices
What is the Value of a Day?
A Day to take a Step Forward...
A Day to Fall Behind.
It seems to be something that We Fail to Understand...
What is the Value?
Day to Day...
Moment to Moment...
We Underestimate the Value of Growth...
We Overestimate the Cost of Stagnation.
So often We Believe that We can Simply Wait a Day...
Or a Week...
Or a Month...
Or a Year...
At Little to No Cost.
But We are Blind to How Much is Lost...
How much is Lost?
According to the Research...
The Best Opportunity for Growth Happens at 4%...
That is 4% Greater than Our Skill Currently...
In Whatever it is We Wish to Grow In.
Now, that Does Not Sound like Much, I Know.
4% Lost?
But this is Day by Day...
Potentially More.
Most Investments in the Stock Market give a Return of 10%...
Over a Year.
Which Investment is Wiser?
Let's go back to the Opportunity for Growth...
One Chance...
Day to Day...
If you Take that Opportunity for One Day...
You'll get to 4%.
It Might Not Seem like much...
But Let's Take Another Day...
You'll get to 8.16%
It's a Bit More than just 4%...
Over One Work Week (5 Days)...
You'll be at 21.665% Growth...
If You Go One Full Week...
You'll attain 31.593%.
When You Stick with Something...
Go Again and Again...
The Results begin to Grow Exponentially...
What Happens over 1 Year?
If You Limit Yourself to the Work Week...
You can Reach 26,831.937% Growth.
That Seems Pretty Incredible...
But if You Work Toward Growth Every Day of the Year?
You Attain 1,648,802.285% Growth.
That is a 60X Difference.
Now, I Know there are some Caveats to Keep in Mind...
"Better" will Look Vastly Different at Higher Levels.
It is More Subtle and Hard to Express at the Greatest of Levels...
But when Someone is Deeply Dedicated to their Growth...
There is an Undeniability in their Understanding.
We also have to Assume that You "Reach" the 4%...
Which Not Everyone Does.
Many People stay satisfied with the 1% Growth...
And there is Nothing Wrong with this...
But the Difference will Begin to be Seen.
Another Thing to Keep in Mind which Most People Completely Miss...
Is that the "Only" Way to Maintain a 4% Growth Constantly...
Is with Equally Consistent Recovery.
No Recovery?
We Begin to Decay...
Instead of Growth...
You Experience Decay...
Usually Subtle at First...
But it, Too, Quickly Becomes Exponential in its Consequences...
It is Why We See Burnout Spreading Significantly Faster than Results in Today's World...
Lack of Recovery.
You can Think of it like a Form of Debt...
You can "Push" Yourself Further, and Begin to Build that Debt...
But to Resolve the Debt...
You Must Fully Recover.
So, think of it like a Cumulative Negative 1% Debt.
At First, it Seems like No Problem...
(For those who Do Not Like Math, Apologies)
One Day of Pushing, you have 1.04*-((1.01^1)-1)) = 1.03 or 3% Growth...
Oh...
It seems We're at Less Growth Already...
Then if We Go Another Day, without Proper Recovery?
1.03*(1.04*-((1.01^2)-1)) = 1.050497
Or 5.0497% Growth from Where We Started...
Still Growth, but Not as Much as the Previous Day...
Another Day?
1.050497*(1.04*-((1.01^3)-1)) = 1.0606857704
The Increases are Getting Worse...
A Fourth Day?
1.0606857704*(1.04-((1.01^4)-1)) = 1.0600451056
Uh Oh...
Now We're Seeing Decay...
And If You Keep Going...
Keep Pushing...
The Recovery Debt Continues to Become Exponentially Worse...
Until You Go Bankrupt...
Except in this Case We're Talking About Your Physical Health...
So Bankrupt could be...
Serious Disease...
Potentially even Death.
Most People's Debts are So Great...
That Even if they Spent Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars at a "Recovery Resort"...
It would Not even Put a Dent in their Recovery Debt...
And they would Go Back to Work...
Making their Debt All the Worse.
This Should Make Us Question...
What is the Value of a Day?
A Day to Choose to Grow...
A Day to Neglect Our Goals...
A Day to Understand How to Recover...
A Day of Pushing Too Far...
What is the Value of Each of These?
Growth and Cultivation are Indeed of High Value...
But So is the Value of Proper Recovery...
And is the Value of Pushing Ourselves Too Far...
Really Worth the Cost of the Psychophysiological Debt that We Create?
We can Choose to Grow Every Single Day...
We can Choose to Wreck Our Health Every Single Day...
We can Get to New Levels Constantly...
Both of Growth and Decay...
Will the Value of One Day...
Exceed the Value of the Previous Day?
Or Will Our Value Begin to Deteriorate...
Because We Treat Ourselves as if We are Less than Our True Value?
As Humans...
Our Potential is So Much Vaster than We Comprehend...
But We So Frequently Fail to Understand What "Is" of Value in Our Lives...
We Constantly Pour Time and Resources into things that...
Poison Us...
Deteriorate Us...
Prevent Us from Living as Humans...
We "Perceive" them as "Valuable"...
All while We are Dying...
Often By Our Own Hands...
What is the Value of a Day?
It Seems So Insignificant...
Each Day the Needle Moves So Slowly...
Painfully Slowly...
But We Fail to Understand How Value Works...
Always that Which is Of Value Causes Growth...
But in Exponential Ways.
Little Efforts Begin to Catch New Life...
That Cultivation begins to Expand...
To Build Momentum...
It Feels Slow...
But Only to Us...
Only Because We are Far Too Close to See It...
To Perceive...
We Only See the 4%...
But Others Begin to See How Vastly Different You've Become...
You Begin to Become Undeniable to Others...
Because the Reality Is...
So Few People Understand the Value of a Day...
The Vast Majority Waste All of their Potential...
And When They Finally See Someone Who Understands...
It is like Looking Upon a Mythical Creature.
We Hear about the Stories and Myths of Individuals Who Accomplish Things that "Seem" Larger than Life...
But the Reality is that These Individuals Simply Understand...
The Value of a Day.
Do Not Take the Value of Today for Granted...
