Chris Evergream here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Tuesday, February 10th. It's the second Tuesday
of the month. Not the first one where you're
still riding that fresh calendar energy. Not
the third one where you've found your rhythm.
Just the middle Tuesday. The one that feels like
it showed up to work but forgot why. You know
that feeling when you're doing everything right
but nothing feels particularly exciting about
it. You're showing up You're putting in the effort,
but it's like waiting for water to boil. You
keep checking, and it just sits there looking
the same. That's where consistency lives, though.
Right in that boring middle part. Here's today's
advice. The thing about building anything good
is that most of it happens in the unremarkable
middle. The part where nobody's watching. The
part where you're not getting feedback or gold
stars or visible progress. You're just doing
the thing again. And your brain starts getting
restless. It wants proof that this matters. It
wants a sign. Some kind of evidence that you're
not just spinning your wheels. But consistency
doesn't work like that. It's more like compound
interest than a light switch. You don't see it
accumulating in real time. You just keep making
the deposits. So here's the move for today. Pick
one small thing you've been doing regularly.
Maybe it's drinking more water. Maybe it's taking
a walk. Maybe it's texting back faster or getting
to bed earlier. And just notice that you're still
doing it. That's it. Just acknowledge that you
haven't quit yet. That you showed up again today
even though it wasn't thrilling. Because that's
the whole game. Not the dramatic transformations.
Not the breakthrough moments. Just the regular
decision to keep going when it would be easier
to stop. And your goodwill move for today. Check
in with someone who's working on something long
-term, a friend training for something, a co
-worker learning a new skill, someone in the
boring middle of their own thing. Send them a
quick message, just something like, Hey, I see
you still showing up for that. That's solid.
Because when you're in the unremarkable middle,
you start wondering if anyone notices. And sometimes,
just knowing someone sees your consistency makes
it easier to... keep showing up. That's your
Daily Goodwill for Tuesday, February 10th. The
boring middles are where the real work gets done.
You're right on schedule. Talk soon.
