The secret to staying on course is being able to visualize your destination. So, again, no excuses. If you want small change to work, you need to muster up a small amount (small, we repeat) of self-control, self-discipline, resolve, and confidence, a small amount of patience and optimism, and a great big dose of trust in the power of small change to make a big difference in your life.
