Actually there are several things that you can do once on one day that can change years of habit.

Stopping Smoking or drinking requires one decision. Starting a new business or job or quitting a bad one or ending a bad relationship or moving or asking a girl on a date are all individual actions that require one thing on one day.

Life does indeed work exactly that way. Not everything takes 6 years. In fact, most things don’t.

On the other hand, this post explains the ongoing saga of the 365 Things series … if we just keep reading them, we’ll start thinking they’re good posts! Every time we read them it’s a positive action.

It certainly requires courage.

@Carole: You may be right, but that doesn’t mean he SHOULD lower his sights. For many people, it’s far better to be single than to be in a relationship with the wrong person.

Ugh, those are terrible examples.

Particularly the diet one. “so why not have fun and enjoy delicious foods?” Why not, INDEED? That’s the route I would go, life’s too short to not have fun, and not enjoy what you’re eating, to the best of your ability to access it.

Change is very difficult and takes a minimum of 22 days to see change. I am pretty good at achieving goals, but I do not bat 1,000. I will keep trying when others will quit. Maybe that is the key to success. I will change my efforts to achieve my goal over and over again.

Nobody says you have to persevere at everything. It’s OK to choose not to date or diet, for example.

Maybe if your friend would lower his sights, whatever that might mean in his situation, he might get dates. Heaven knows there are plenty of women looking for Mr. Right. (coupon)
