If you try to get 1% better each day at your health, at your relationships and the way you treat people, at your creativity, and at turning despair into gratitude, then that 1% compounds into an amazing person. Do that 1%. Take one action. Even if the actions is for one minute. The 1/1/1 strategy.

If two people believe in the same story, they might be thousands of miles apart and total strangers, but they still have a sense they can trust each other.
