The Last 1%

1% may not seem like a lot, but it is often the difference between success and failure.

On a recent flight, I met a gentleman named Bill who was telling me about his experience viewing the 2024 solar eclipse in an area with 100% coverage. He described what he experienced, and I reflected on my experience in an area with 99% coverage.

My experience paled in comparison to what Bill and others who were in the path of totality experienced.

The difference between 99% and 100% is HUGE.

If you are going to do something of value, give it your best effort.

There is only one person who knows if you truly gave it your best or not – YOU.

Sure, people can sense how hard you are trying by your attitude and actions, but only you truly know.

There is nothing sweeter than finishing a task knowing in your soul that you gave it everything you could.

Chase that feeling every day.

Do it consistently for long enough and you will change your life.
