When you're looking at someone else's achievement, you don't see what really matters most.

You see them finishing a marathon; you don't see the moment when they turned to their roommate and said, "I might try to start jogging."

You see their successful business; you don't see the moment when they made their first sales call.

You see their creative output; you don't see the moment when they opened a blank page for the first time.

Every meaningful accomplishment begins with small choices just like these.

In the moment itself, this choice often seems unremarkable. It's only by looking backward that you can trace how momentous it really was, the way it led to these accomplishments that were unimaginable at the time.

Today, you have the opportunity to make a small choice, one that might change the course of your entire year. What will yours be?
