Hello friends,
When it comes to personal growth, one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned is that change is a process, not an event. That’s exactly why I wrote Chapter 11, Making Lasting Change. It’s all about taking the excitement of a new goal and turning it into a steady, sustainable reality.
We’ve all been there—setting resolutions, making plans, or starting something new with tons of enthusiasm, only to lose momentum after a few weeks. Sound familiar? Writing this chapter made me reflect on my own struggles with staying consistent. The truth is, lasting change isn’t about willpower or motivation alone. It’s about habits, small steps, and learning how to navigate setbacks.
This chapter was inspired by the idea that real transformation happens when we make change part of our everyday lives. It’s not about dramatic overhauls but about the little things we do consistently. Whether it’s tracking your progress, setting achievable goals, or creating routines that align with your purpose, these small actions add up over time.
One of my favorite parts of this chapter is the focus on celebrating milestones. Sometimes we’re so focused on the big picture that we forget to acknowledge the little victories along the way. Those moments matter—they’re what keep us going.
I also wanted to emphasize patience. Change doesn’t happen overnight, and that’s okay. It’s about committing to the process, even when progress feels slow. If there’s one thing I hope readers take away from this chapter, it’s the idea that persistence, not perfection, is what leads to lasting transformation.
So, what’s one small step you can take today toward your goals? Start there and see where it leads. You’ve got this.
Until next time,
Stephen
