One of the skills I hoped to develop this year is to learn how to do push ups.
I totally sucked at push ups last year despite exercising 110 hours. I just couldn’t do even a single push up on my toes. So rather than getting frustrated and angry at myself and jealous at others who can do, I decided to sign up for a beginner level push up plan on Coach.Me plan and stick to it.
The result is impressive. Now I can do 20 push ups in a row on my toes. It took 100 days of practice. But each day I practiced only for about two minutes. That is a great return on my investment.
Someone said, the reward for winning a round of game is the eligibility to play next round. Or something on those lines. So here’s to Level 2. And there is Level 3. Like most of the habits I like to build and keep, there is no end date to this habit.
This reminds me: there are no real quantum leaps or secrets formulas in life. Only baby steps when taken consistently, suddenly look like magic.
