Begin at the beginning.

“If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you.
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.”
- Mary Pickford



Ah the first day of the month. It's a fresh start! What better time to start our one hundred tweaks.

My favorite definition of tweak is usually the last one listed in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, lost behind the more aggressive or offensive definitions: "to make small adjustments"

Life can be rough. Exhausting. There is always something new and important that we should be doing. I want to be part of a kinder, gentler world, where positivity reigns.

Starting now, I'm going to make 100 little upgrades in my life that will increase my HAPPINESS, HEALTH, WISDOM AND WEALTH. About one a week. Tiny little tweaks that will make big differences. If you follow the 80/20 rule, think of it as things that require just 20% of the effort but provide 80% of the results. On that same note, forgive yourself if you're accomplishing your tweak only 80% of the time. If you're hanging in there five or six days a week, you're on a roll! Give yourself a hug for a job well done! If you fall short one day, give yourself a hug and know that tomorrow is a clean slate.

Let's get started!
