In reply to Erika. Thanks, Erika! Agreed - often the biggest hurdle we have to overcome is our own mindset.

Habits are hugely important – doing a little each day truly does add up over time 🙂

In reply to Mr. Grumby. Thanks, Mr. Grumby! That's neat that you used to watch him as a kid, I wish there was someone like him on TV today, he seemed like an inspirational guy.

Mindset is so important. I always liked the quote, “whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.”

Great post! Mindset is definitely the start of building great habits. Sometimes we don’t even realize our limiting beliefs.

That’s impressive! I’ve been trying to view my mindset where I view food as less of a pleasure and more of a fuel. Every time I eat I wonder what would be most nourishing right now.

Habits add up in results! Doing a little each day is much easier than overcoming a larger pile less frequently.

Woah, Jack is a total hoss!

This just goes to show that you actually can do anything if you want it badly enough and make an action plan, with follow-through, to get there.

When my hubs and I first got married, I remember telling him that it was *impossible* to pay off our debt. I thought we were doomed to live a paycheck to paycheck cycle. We were normal people with no special abilities or trust fund or winning lotto tickets.

However, we expanded our mindset by reading great blogs like yours, Zach. It’s hard to argue that something can’t be done when a big community of people is doing it!

I’m proud to say that, as a result of adjusting our mindset, we’re set to be free of student loans and our car loans by 1/1/2019. 🙂
