Thursday's Child has far to go, Friday's child is loving and giving

One of the reasons I preach the gospel of "5 Minutes A Day" is because it is my experience that consistent action is the best way to get anything done.

I was able to quit my day job by writing a business plan every day at Starbucks for 15 minutes.  It took a year, but the results were highly worth it.

With the help of close proximity to some great musicians, I was able to teach myself how to play lead guitar by practicing 5 minutes a day.   I'm still not Clapton, but I can do it.

It's not about how much time we put into an activity, especially a new one.  It's about regular, consistent action.  Practice Beginner's Mind!
