In just a few months, the kitten we adopted has come a healthy young girl. She began her time with us frightened and has grown into an active, playful, loving friend. The transformation did not occur all at once. Quite the contrary. It was daily experience of feeding, holding, playing, and sleeping together that built a strong bond not only with us, but with our other cats. The psychological principle here is that the most powerful changes occur through small, repeated experiences. Doing new and different things--day after day--makes us new and different over a surprisingly short period--but only if those experiences are consistent and repeated many times per day. Transformation is not accomplished by one big act of will. It is achieved through sustained, consistent effort. Day after day of loving Nomi turned a frightened kitten into a loving family member. And changing our trading? That occurs one trade at a time, doing the right things the right way--again and again and again.
Doing new things renews us.
