You might have seen my post on here a few weeks ago raving about the book The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson.
The words of motivation that I’m sharing with you today are once again taken from this amazing must read book:
—
“You know what you’re supposed to eat. We all do. So why do many of us still go out and chow down cheeseburgers and fries every day?
I’ll tell you why: because it won’t kill us. Not today.
If you have a cheeseburger and immediately suffered a near fatal heart attack, would you ever go near a cheeseburger again? I doubt it.
It may take twenty or thirty years, but when you add up the compounded interest on all that artery clogging dietary mayhem, eventually your poor overworked heart just quits, stops dead. And so do you. We dig our graves with our teeth.
It’s easy to eat well. It’s easy not to. It’s not the one junk food meal, it’s the thousands, over time. Eating the burger is just a simple error in judgement. Not eating it, a simple positive action.
Eating it won’t kill you – today. But compounded over time, it can and will.
Not eating it won’t save you – today. But compounded over time, it can and it will.
Why do you walk past the exercise bike? Because it’s easy. If you don’t exercise today, will that kill you? No, of course not.
You know what you need to do to stay healthy and feel fit and live a long life. It’s easy to do.
But it’s also easy not to do. And if you don’t do it today, or tomorrow, or the next day, you won’t suddenly drop dead, and you won’t suddenly put on twenty pounds, and you won’t suddenly lose all your muscle tone.
But that simple error in judgement, compounded over time, will take you down and out”.

How simple is that?
Exercise and eating healthy broken down to the most simplest form.
Anybody should be able to see the benefit of this.
In fact, if this has been a lightning bolt moment for you, I’d love for you to share it with me in the comments section below.
If you have read the Slight Edge, I’d love to hear what you think of it and if you haven’t read it, grab it online at Amazon or at your local bookstore today.
