Our life is composed of our beliefs, practices and habits. People try many agendas to turn their lives around, to become better personalities or to have some form of growth. Unfortunately, many miss the fact that a simple but effective step can work a lot more than products or practices that cost thousands of dollars. Changing your life for the better doesn't have to be extravagant or expensive. On the contrary, a simple yet consistent start boosts this growth journey immensely. Something as seemingly insignificant as waking up a few minutes earlier or even making time to clean a shelf once a week can have unimaginable effects on a person's life.
