Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Tuesday, January 13th, 2026. Today's advice
is for when you're trying to improve your life,
but your brain keeps asking for results by lunchtime.
So let's make progress in a way that actually
sticks. Here it is. Measure effort, not outcomes.
Outcomes can be slow. Effort is something you
can control today. So instead of asking, did
I fix everything? Ask, did I show up? Did I try
again? Did I do the next small step? A quick
example. If you're trying to get healthier, the
win isn't I look different. The win is I took
a walk. If you're trying to get organized, the
win isn't my house is perfect. The win is I cleared
one surface. If you're trying to build a habit,
the win is I returned, not I never missed. One
small effort today is a vote for the person you're
becoming. And here's your goodwill move for today.
Give credit out loud. If someone helped, say
so. If someone tried, acknowledge it. If someone's
been steady, tell them you noticed. People run
on recognition more than we admit, and you can
be the reason someone keeps going. That's your
Daily Goodwill for Tuesday, January 13th, 2026.
Effort counts. Showing up counts. You're building
something. Talk soon.
